Animatic Practice

One lecture, John Parry taught us about scripting, and he told us about making an animatic, which is a moving storyboard. I was teamed with Shannon and Snej for this project. We all worked to make a 30 second animatic with two characters.

The first task we were given was to listen to some soundtracks and try to draw characters in the quickest time we could. I felt this was good practice because it make me think of what the characters would look like from the sound of audio.

When we finished and were given our chosen songs, we chose two characters. We agreed to go with Shannon and Snej's characters because they would look as if to work off each other better.

I was asked to draw some backgrounds for the outside of the shed setting where the characters meet.

I thought of a basic, clean field where the flowers are smiling and happy, with garden gnomes and birds flying around. This would fit for our music change. The idea of the happy gnomes and birds would be more symbolic of the character's new relationship as compared to the dark, scary, threatening shed.
