I wasn’t prepared for this process. I just spent the last few days making a very bad animatic. Don’t know what an animatic is? well here is an example of a good one.

You are apparently supposed to edit together your storyboards with the exact timing of all the character and camera movements. Maybe the task required a more meticulous dispostion than I posses but clearly MY animatic did not turn out as polished as the one above.

I have however been inspired to make an animated feature at some point in my career, I’ve been seduced by the control. In looking at visual references for the HWUF sequences on ffffound.com I realized how many different mark-making techniques could be applied to 2d animation that have yet to be explored in films (at least the ones I have seen). Persopolis has also subconsiously influnced this revelation. My resolve to do so was set in stone after walking out of Fantastic Mr. Fox which was… Fantastic.

There is a great example of an animatic somewhere in that video. apologies to the supremely talented and unlucky animator who has to work with my animatic.
