Week 3, Month 2

This here is the animatic. I started by just drawing out all my storyboards, some I edited as I went giving shots different angles or wider fields of vision. Changed a handful of the actions as well added and a whole bunch of keyframe poses that will help me down the line. Then spent a bit of time padding out the timing with frames where I needed holds or cuts.

All the timing is completely off I just spaced out the timeline so that I could read it easily in photoshop. I think each frame holds for roughly a second, with the exception of a couple of keyframes where I just needed to get the animation going so that it still read appropriately. Best example of this is the 'wait a sec' finger pose where it's three frames to really accentuate that action.

I added some actions to  demonstrate a few animation principles that I wanted to get in there. The lifting of the boxes before the boy reaches into his pocket gives me the opportunity to show some shifting of weight and get some nice secondary motions happening with the balancing of the boxes.

Also found a nice expressive moment when the girl notices the dog, is tempted but then ultimately turns away. Really tried to make sure that she goes through all of it distinctly, surprise then temptation/ intrigue then a resolved refusal. These are all quite small and subtle poses but I feel like that if I hit those keyframes strongly enough it should come across well.
