Here is our original animatic and final animatic. Both animatics were created using the camera angles and character directions from the script that I had written. Original animatic: Final animatic:

Collaboration For this project we were give the brief to respond to the statement 'When not to....' We were told that for the final submission we would need to create a play blasted animation that had to be between 30 seconds and 2 minutes long and that we also had to use the 3D pre-made Moom rigs as our characters. After brainstorming many ideas, we came up with a 'When not to.... Interfere' idea which is what we based our final animation on.  I believe that one of the first problems that me and my group encountered was when we first started the project and that was the story line for the animation. We had come up with multiple ideas, which each of us were happy to create, but after speaking to Alan, we were told to look at the different ways that comedy could be portrayed. After a few more of our ideas being pitched to Alan and a variety of research, we were finally successful with an animation that we all believed was possible to create and was still comical. O

Here is a list of the films that I have reviewed for Alan's Lecture and film programme: StarWars - The Empire Strikes Back A Knight's Tale - A Hero's Journey Spiderman Homecoming - Archetypes The Impossible - Three Act Structure Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind - Non-linear The Dark Knight - Character Review King Kong Vs Godzilla - B.

In order to help with animating the singer singing, Nelly suggested looking at ' The Magic flute - Queen of the night Aria' for reference. I used footage for 34 - 44 seconds into the clip to help with animating how the Singer's mouth, eyebrows, eyes and cheeks would move as she sang higher and louder notes. The link for the video is shown below: Shown below are the clips of the animating that I have done for the Singer character. There is the edited version, which shows how the animation looked before it had been sped up and colours had been changed, as well as an edited version, which shows all of the effects used to make the final animation.
