Developing the Intro - Animatic

Finished the mock introduction, I'm including it here for your viewing displeasure! 




It is basically a very rough looking order of how things are going to run before the main animation actually plays.

It is made up from video footage (which will change in the final video, but the tone/theme will be the same), typography that sets the scene and informs the viewer about the issue at hand (will remain largely the same as in this test intro), and animated storyboard shots of what I will be filming when on location drawing the images themselves (very rough looking, but framed similar to the intended shots).

Sorry for the rough look of the intro, it is really just to flesh out the ideas, visualize the pre-animation footage, and most importantly, provide my musical composer something to work around too.

EDIT - I've since met up with my peer group and showed them the intro, it was largely agreed upon that it said what needed to be said and set the scene well enough for the animation to follow, so mission successful.

One thing that wasn't liked by one person was the text describing my actual idea. They said it doesn't really need to be said, and that the video itself should show it, ie: in process, the making of. I can definitely see what they mean, and will think about revising or even removing the text, maybe including some other shots that help say what the text did, as with it being a visual piece, I agree that it would be better to SHOW the process with images rather than DESCRIBE it in words. Useful feedback that I will take on board.
