combined first pass

https://youtu.be/5zVwi0-BbUw

Its just a first pass, no sound and the animation is still quite not great. But the story has really started to come together and the idea is definitely communicated without dialogue. At this point, adding dialogue would kinda detract from the story; the animation performance can better portray us then our awkward taking will. Yeah, we have wicked storytelling and narrative skills. We have cut a lot of stuff from the outro because the animation in itself is already a showcase of our ability.

Interim storyboard

here it is in all its glory, edited down from all the other stuff to be a nice and concise short emphasising how we work together to solve creative problems (even if we aren't all too aware of it all the time). At this stage we will probably ditch dialogue all together because we are finding we can more than adequately communicate this without it. But music and sound effects are definitely in.

Character style development

This wil emphasise the messy quality of my character and the animation. Its sits quite well in the scene. And here's the abbreviated development process for it. Keeping it simple due to time constraints.

Excerpts from the work book

just some initial ideas on what narrative we are going to go for; something that emphasises how we work quite effectively as a team and that allows us to solve creative problems while also allowing us to show our personalities as individuals. We want to play on this messy/clean idea as a starting point and bring in the rest of our interests (perhaps more subtly) as the storyboard develops.

Looks shity, but it was just a quicky to get a feel for how it may turn out
