I’ve made an Animatic

I’m not sure if I should be proud of this or not

I’m definitely made progress. Whether it is enough or not time will tell.

With my animatic and character designs done I was doing better than I thought I would. I could have started animating there. But I wouldn’t be able to do much with no voice acting to go off of. With no sign of voice actors coming up I decided I might as well make a temporary voice track myself. Owen approved of this, so I went back to Oxford for a week to record it.

The process of recording the impromptu soundtrack was a nightmare. But when it was done I had a take for each line that was at least adequate. Heck. It might be good enough to use. I know Owen thinks it could be. It doesn’t make me want to curl into a ball and cry at least.

Coming back to Cardiff Morgan helped me get to grips with Premiere and I synced my audio with my images. This may make it sound like it was all easy, Nothing about this was easy. It was some of the most nerve wracking work I’ve done so far. It really makes me feel a lack of control than makes me unhappy and tense. But it is at least done.

In hindsight I should have allowed more silent spaces for my rabbits to move about in. Whether this can be changed or not without affecting the sound effects I have for later I don’t know.

So without wasting anymore time, here it is

I think it’s okay.

Words don’t express how intense the past three weeks have been. It’s been a nightmare trying to find the will to do all this strange stuff.

Next I can either start drawing my keyframes, based on the storyboard panels. Or I can start figuring out the timing. Either way, I’m in animating process next.

Help.
