From Script to Screen - Reflective Statement

I went into this project once again not connecting too much with what I got. I didn't see how the keywords could connect with each other. But now I see that once you can find correlations between things, you can make something out of them. I'm happy with my outcome, mostly because I never thought I'd be able to do it. But I think I should have been less ambitious. Creating an entire world just for a 2-minute film in the space of 7 weeks was too much, and it affected my work. Maybe If I had more time to develop the world Avem Motus was set in it would have turned out differently.

Next time I make a film, I need to make sure to convey what I know to the audience as well. My audience was left confused by the end, which was entirely my fault as a filmmaker, and it meant I had to fill them in after. I may take some time in the summer to revisit this project, but for now, I am happy with my outcomes, and I have learned a lot about telling stories and of filmmaking and I am excited to take this knowledge onto the next project.

From Script to Screen - Animatic Diagetic Sound Test

I kept the music in since I like how it goes with the animatic. But I decided to test some sounds as I was going on with the animatic, and then I rendered a snippet with the sound.

From Script to Screen - Animatic Music Test

I wanted to test these scenes with some music from bensound, to see if this animatic could be done with soundtracks and not sound effects. I think it does work kind of well, but if I were to take this into a proper animation, I would try to write my own music, or hire someone to do so.

From Script to Screen - Quick Animatic Test

Something quick thing to test movement in my animatic. Not sure whether to do it like this or to have it be "jumpy" like my first animatic.

@Phil - From Script to Screen - Animatic Color Scheme

 Full Color

Sepia with only characters colored

Before I work on my Animatic properly, I wanted some feedback on what colors to go for. I'm thinking the Sepia with only characters being in their full colors would be better, it would draw attention to the characters who are the focal point of the story, but not too much that the background would get washed out.

I feel like the full color one would wash out Faigel and Enna too much.

From Script to Screen - Factory Palettes

Some quick palette options for the factory exterior.

Since I am now running out of time to be able to finish my Animatic and Pre vis in Maya, I'll be working on the environments as I come across them in the Animatic. This isn't the best way to work, but its most convenient in this situation.

A quick soundless animatic test using my basic storyboards for timing purposes.
I'm not happy with the timing for the opening sequence. So I'll work on fixing that when I work on my proper animatic

From Script to Screen - Faigel Changes

Following OGR I've made some quick minor changes to Faigel. Her neck is now short and thinner and it honestly does fit her a lot more. Next, I want to try and finish some character reference/expression sheets for Faigel and Enna.

From Script to Screen - Updated Opening Storyboards

After feedback, I quickly worked to include phils suggestions. They're messy right now but when it comes to doing my animatic i'll redraw them to be more detailed.
