Animating the Posthuman. Animatic Week
Finally decided on the mother and son. i had more ideas for the mother and the son animation then i did for the Grandpa one. Ive got some sketches to put up and the beginning of the animatic. here we go!
The Son.
The Mother.
First Street Pass.
Second Street Pass.

So that was a start, there are more but i don't want to post them all. the colour study and mood boards will go up soon.
Problems.
That i can see arising, well the one camera angle for the whole thing when i was watching the animatic did get a little boring to watch. So to compensate I'm going to have to lots of work on animation and keeping the audience engaged. Another problem i found is audio, what audio can i find for a 60 second slow but fast hand drawn animation. hmmm that's a toughie. I came up with two options, one add loads of sound effects, the hustle and bustle of the crowds the noise of the buildings and machinery everything. The second option was to find some sort of music, something orchestrated, simple strings of maybe piano. I'm going to try "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" by Michael Nyman. But i want to cut it at 1:28, might have to do some magic to the first part.
Here is a shot of the street at camera angle. My original idea has a more sweeping curve to the ground which curves off to the left as well. This shot is done in maya, made the street and set it to time in about a day. Might seem like a waste ofa day but now i can manipulate the scene, choose a better angle, curve the street but mainly i can see how fast i need to move the street to fit everything in. By setting the timeline to 60 seconds this scene will give me an accurate visual reference to draw from, each frame, and to see when events are going to occur. Things like lighting and camera depth can be added later. Adding a quick toon shader and bobs your uncle its done like a line drawing already.
