Animatic

here's my first couple of seconds of my Animatic. (just to for me to work out the spacing when i draw it out tonight - hence the jitteryness)
basically drawn from the images of my storyboard, then added 1 or 2 extra inbetweens.
done it on flash, as im not in uni today to test on the linetester, so it easier to do it on my pc.
obviously its not finished, but heres the first couple of seconds anyway.

Storyboard 1

Here is my first part of my storyboard.
i know how its all gonna work now, should finish the storyboard in a couple of hours, and hopefully an animatic, by the evening.
so i can start animating tomorrow

heres my first, set anyway.

stoyboard 2

Photobucket

just a quick description, the jigsaw piece, opens the lid, and looks around, realising hes on his own.
then proceeds to jump out of the box, and look for the other pieces. i notice now, that the last picture looks wrong, hes meant to look down.

anyway, more to come in a bit.!

some practice!

so ive made my main character - jigsaw piece, in plastacine, just to make some practice shots.
im still undecided whether to do it 3d stop mo, or 2d hand drawn

anyway, ive tried to make some sort of walk cycle, to draw from.
some of the photos are a bit shit, because my flash was too bright, so i had to burn down the image.

anyway heres a few photos of the character for now, storyboard and animatic, coming tomorrow!

jigsaw walk

Ideas!

well hear is my main character.
done front, side view and a back (just for a piss take)

puzzle pieces

im still torn between two ways of going about this.

the ident is gonna start off with a jigsaw box, and the character is gonna opene the top from inside, and realise hes the only one left.

the jigsaw piece, comes out of the box, and basically, looks around for the puzzle, as hes the last piece.


now i dunno how to end it (as its only 8 secs long)
whether the character, finds 3 seperate puzzles and is torn between which one he "fits" into.
and decides on the first one, and conveniently places himself in it.


or, he see's his puzzle and runs in excitement toward it. resulting in him tripping on the thickness of the edge of the puzzle, but luckily falls exactly into his right place.
and then revealing the E4 logo.



ill put a both pictures of scenarios in a bit, they need to be drawn better first though lol
they just crappy rough sketches atm.

Photoshop

basically this is my idea.
done it in photoshop, just fusing together, the e4 logo and a blank puzzle.
just to get the jist of it really.

e4 mock up

gotta think around how to make the puzzle pieces come to life now!
more pictures coming soon, im sure!.

EDIT-
just found this on youtube!



if i got my animation to look something like that, id be very proud!
very tv-identy im thinking!
makes me wanna do it in stop-motion now
but dunno if i got the time?!

see how it goes...

Rough Sketch

wayyyy too much work to do, i cant even think of the self reflective folder thing we apparently gotta do. (wtf?!)
so im gonna be just working literally 24/7 till friday
except 2moro night, im watching the Arsenal game, i aint missing that for love nor money.

anyway,
this is basically a quick rough sketch of what the final scene is gonna look like, and how the E4 symbol is gonna be used.

its nothing to hard, its basically just the E4 logo, made out of jigsaw pieces.

more pictures to follow.

Have a gander.

I am going to try and actually update on here, because i really need to.
basically ive finished my essay, which i must say, im quite proud of (ill be kick in the teeth if i get a shit mark though!).
now i got 5 days encounting till i finish my ident.
i will admit, im a tad behind (lol)

but anyway, this is something to gander at, i think a few people have seen this, i think it was done by a uni student last year :



It's something im looking at, for what im doin my ident on. its basically similar goings on, but im looking at it, in a different perspective.

im basically, going to be making a jigaw box, and the lil pieces are gonna jump out, and walk around and stuff, then eventually put themselves together, to make the E4 logo.

sounds easy enough, but i just know im gonna encounter problems
HOPEFULLY - ill be able to post a working animatic tomorrow.
if not, definately some storyboards, so you all have a more understanding of what im doing.
