Major Project - Previs Progress #5

the broad strokes of the previs are now in place, so I can now focus on tweaking it. The soundscape needs adjusting to fit better with the piece which is something I will fix soon. I will also start breaking down all the subtle details that each shot needs and work on bringing the whole thing to life!

Major Project - Previs Progress #2

I've been working on the previs, figuring out poses for the boy and roughly placing the environments, I am about half way through now so I should have it done by the end of this week!

Major Project - Animatic #8

I continued to add more sound effects to flesh out the animatic, I've also been emailing some composers and have a few that are interested in collaborating! 

Major Project - Animatic #7

I reworked some of the sound design following Phil's feedback, I still need to try the contrazoom's but I think I will experiment with that in maya for my previs. The boy needs a battle cry and a few other vocal effects which I will need to create.

Major Project - Animatic #6

Today I tweaked the ending of the animatic and continued working on the sound design for it, this is how it all currently sounds. I think the second half needs more work but overall I am quite happy with how it is turning out.

Major Project - Animatic #5

I changed up the ending and now I feel like it all flows better. Phil suggested breaking up the music into themes which I attempted here. It's still a long way off in sound design terms however as a reference for a composer it is getting there. Lots of sound effects are missing at the moment, I will have to record some asap!

Any feedback is warmly welcomed, sound design is definitely something I struggle with. 

Minor Project - Animation #4

Added a contra zoom during the room transformation scene inspired by poltergeist. I also found some placeholder music and sound effects.

Minor Project - Animatic #3

I've adjusted the ending in the animatic now to follow the new storyboard I made, I still need to flesh out the bedroom transformation a bit more. This will help me understand how I can make it in Maya and help the animatic read slightly better.

Minor Project - Animatic #2

I've got the full narration now and changed up some of the pacing and shots, I adjusted the ocean scene to try to add more tension in it.

Minor Project - Animatic #1

I don't have the full narration yet but this is animatic at the moment, there is no sfx or music, that will be the next thing I work on. I think the narration is working well with the overall feeling of the story and I look forward to getting the full narration.

Fantastic Voyage - Animatic

From Script To Screen - Final Animatic

From Script To Screen - More Animatic Drafts

Added more layers of sound and background music.



I replaced some of the sounds in the fourth draft and added some extra sounds. I also tweaked the ending slightly to have a better reveal.

From Script To Screen - Animatic Drafts

Before I went on the trip to Barcelona I artworked all of my storyboard, in preparation for the animatic. I did a draft and noticed there were a few things that need correcting/changing, I also got some advice from my peers which I adjusted accordingly.

The first draft has no sound and I was mainly just focusing on getting the basic timing down.


The second draft has sound effects but still lacks some background music, this could be crucial for telling the story accurately so that will be the thing I focus on next.
