Waiting - Animatic Reflection

Having taught over the production, I realized that some of the scenes were a little too long, and furthermore, the timeline was a little longer than I initially calculated, and furthermore, due to the delay from certain voice actors, I was forced to simplify some of the scenes because of their delay. With those evaluations made, I decided to look for new voice actors as well as improve some scenes in the animation without having to water down the story or the message itself which is the heart of the short animated film.

Production Research

I found a very interesting tutorial on perspective, and I think this can be very helpful in the production as the short film has diverse angles within each location. http://www.animeoutline.com/perspective-drawing-tutorial-for-beginners/ I also did a little research on character concepts. When working on my characters for the short film, I can recall a tutorial I watched, particularly this one: Understandably, drawing/animating characters from side view can be quite tricky, particularly if you are animating lip-sync. However, remembering this tutorial has helped me to make improvements on that area when drawing my characters from that viewpoint. Additionally, seeing that character side views can come in diverse forms, I hope to experiment more on this to enhance my skills in animation.
