3D Animatic - Feedback

3D Animatic - Feedback

Today I got feedback on my 3D animatic from Brian; I got some great feedback that relates to the overall narrative, emotional states of characters, tone, camera changes and also about the need to constantly update my story beats.

The conversation got quite deep into the narrative, more so than I thought but Brian has really dug into my narrative exploring all these different themes that I had not really thought about.

The emotional side of the narrative and the themes of it will be explored in my next iteration of story beats when I alter them; I am also going to include all the underlying themes to help me to truly bring out the strongest narrative.

I haven't had a good time trying to think of things to put in my dissertation that also relate to my practical work...but once thought has popped up, staging! I got lots of feedback about where to place my camera and where the character should be...this is essentially staging. This shows the importance of staging in animation; even though it is not animating itself, it is still an important aspect of an animation to give the audience a chance to see the character in the way that is needed.

Plan:

Tomorrow and Friday: Make as many changes to 3D animatic as humanly possible
Weekend: Write about a couple of topics for my dissertation
Monday: Meeting with Brian to get feedback on dissertation
