Animatic with thumbnails 02

Just thrown this together. Already looks a lot nicer. I will redraw the frames so everything looks as it should but I think this was good, it should help the film flow a lot better now.

 

Small Update

After talking to Jack today he mentioned that he didn’t really feel as though the little girls eye reveal was dramatic enough. A quick talk later and I will be rearranging a few shots to create a more dramatic and effective reveal. The shot in question is when the little girl moves the hair from her face and we see the little eye. This doesn’t really work in a dramatic way. I’m going to move it further into the animation, so instead of it being before she starts looking through the photo album it’ll now be just after the grandfather knocks on the door and she turns around. This is more effective because as the little girl looks through the photo album the viewer will question who they are looking at and why, rather than knowing and not caring as much. When I get home I will rearrange the shots, make a new animatic and upload it.

Animatic with thumbnails 01

I threw together an animatic with my thumbnails and dropped in a piece of music that I like (sorry for the poor quality), though I'm not too sure if the piece of music will remain, I will be searching around for something maybe a little more suited.

 

Thumbnails 02

After spending 4 days, 10 emails and an hour on the phone my scanner/printer finally works again. Pitty I scanned everything in today.

I talked to Jack on Thursday about my thumbnails, he said they were fine accept the ending. We talked and now I have something closer to my original idea but still fits in nicely now.
Neale liked everything.
Darren liked everything accept one frame which I will look into over the weekend.

Here's a more up to date version of my thumbnails.
(I hope to do a quick animatic with these thumbnails over the weekend also, with a temp music piece, just to see how things are flowing)

Page 02 - These are the pictures that will go into the photo album. Note that I haven't thumbnailed every one of these just yet as I wanted to get the main thumbnails done first. The other thing that's missing is there should be more kids in the picture where the little girl is sitting on the bench, I haven't got around to it simply because I wanted to continue and couldn't be bothered drawing a bunch of kids poorly.

Page 05 - All that is missing from this is a way to properly finish it. Darren suggested that I have one final wide shot then fade to black, I will probably go with this.
