Crit and Presenting

We all had to present our pre production work to the class to get feedback on our initial ideas before we actually started animating. There were a few of my ideas I was unsure about so this was a very useful opportunity. The overall feedback was relatively positive, there were just a few points that needed refining or more added too. The first was the running time of the animatic, one of the scenes with a man butting the screen with a gun was held on screen for too long so another scenery shot was needed. Although this was more work it was the right decision as it interrupted the flow of the entire composition. My storyboards also lacked style, they had the shots summed up but were simple sketches so I needed to refine and set my visual style for the project. After those my project was given the go ahead so I could start working on animating.
