After Hayley and I decided on what we were finally doing for definite in our storyboards, I decided to go ahead and make an animatic. I basically wanted to get a brief idea of what we were going to be animating so that we wouldn't be stuck for ideas at any point in the next few weeks, and I also added our chosen carnival theme music that we had both agreed on.
I think this really sets the scene and the mood of our animation. We want it to be full of mischief and rivalry and I think our characters and setting really portray that. Of course our colours won't be as bright in Maya and I think it will be mostly a case of trial and error when we come to actually animating.
From my animatic I screen-shotted certain points in the animation and combined them all onto one board and I am thinking of printing this off, one for Hayley and one for myself. This means that we don't have to keep looking at the video each time and we can have this reference in front of us the whole time we are animating. I also highlighted key points in each scene on this board, for example what character is most important on each scene and where the ball should be at the given time. I think this will really benefit us by planning early!
