Plan for the Animatic

Today we had a small meeting to discuss the road our animatic will take. We've each to come up with a minute long scenario involving a character based on ourselves. This way we actually get to have a little bit of our personality/interested etc in the animatic. I think the story’s kinda different from what I first imagined it to be – but I really can’t complain because I can’t wait to make it!

Each of us will come up with a character based on ourselves. Then come up with a scenario for that character. There will be a few interactions with each other so it all kinda flows together E.G. Small bits of Natalie’s scenario will appear in Victoria and mine etc.
Even though we’ve decided to each come up with a minute long scenario, it will be split up into small sections and pasted all together so that it will not be one minute of my scenario, one minute of Natalie’s scenario and one minute of Victoria’s scenario straight. It will be Xnumber of seconds of mine, Xnumber of seconds of Natalie’s etc.
We will each draw our own storyboard, script etc for our own part then paste it all together in the end. Then we will come together and create the animatic on ToonBoom
However, there is a problem with doing it this way. Each of our drawing style is different, so the animatic will look in a way……... bizarre. This is a problem we will have to sort out once we’ve worked out other major problems. (Maybe split up certain jobs of the animatic like character, background etc)


Plus Note: We've dubbed ourselves as Team Squiggles!! ^^
