Diving into animating

After much deliberation, I finally began animating my potential final film. As seen above, I have worked only in my sketchbook using very small frames, as also seen in my RSA animatic. I have had a lot of trouble committing to one idea, with each one seeming lacklustre or hard to resolve.

Developing my character and trying different mediums


As I am reaching a rut in the development for this story, I thought it was time to experiment with different mediums. Pen and ink have been versatile and effective for creating light and shadow very quickly and easily, but I also wanted to consider colour.

Animatic to digital animation


Having storyboarded a fair amount of the audio, I am now testing out the final look. I really liked how the ink looked in a rough kind of way, and felt that it added character, and so scanned in some pages of ink washes to add texture to the digital version.
