The Sheets Have Hit The Fan

Done with the model sheets

I think I went overboard with the character stuff and underboard (Yeah... that's not a word is it?) with the turnarounds but at least whoever ends up animating this won't accidently draw the characters as animals or trees or something.

Hmmn, the University's probably going to be closed tomorrow, I could have put this off longer...

Revised Version

Got a tutorial on sound design today, kept in the bit with the restraint fastening just because it'll be nice to hear.

Anyway; here's the version of the animatic without the beginning scene and a few minor modifications (the piece of paper that featured in the cut intro scene makes a cameo appearance and I squeezed in another reaction shot from the customer)

Apart from the lollipop sequence; it's not much slower (the old version was actually two seconds over the time limit, this one is 10 exactly) but I think that's okay because there's less information in it.

Next update: Character and Prop Turnarounds (I hope)

Character designs and first pass at animatic

The animatic can be viewed here.

I will tell you right now; those first five seconds are gone, everything after those five seconds will now take ten seconds.
Also, that needly tatoo thing will be giant in the next version. Why didn't I draw it giant in this version? OF COURSE IT NEEDS TO BE GIANT!!

Here are some character sketches with useful notes (Click to see both characters):


I don't care if characters completely change proportions from shot to shot BUT SO HELP ME GOD if you forget their muffin tops.
