Animatic

So I know how long each frame is going to be, I have recorded myself reading out the narration and speaking roles and put it over the top of the individual frames. This way I will know how long each frame will be on screen and will also be able to plan out my character movements in the future.

Here Be Monsters Presentation (prep)

Prezi Presentation

When I go back to university I will have to pitch my idea to the rest of the group and discuss why I want to make the animation and how I am going to make it.
I have started to make the presentation using Prezi.
I will keep updating as I continue to experiment more with the character designs, storyboards and the models.

Storyboards

These are my first storyboards, basing each frame from the images in the book and the script I am working from.

These storyboards will be scanned in once I have access to a A3 scanner.
