Animated film synopsis - James Ely

  1. It's good that you've got this here, but you need to have a version uploaded that uses the correct timing for each shot. What software have you used here? It appears to be set to a uniform pace? Your animatic should last 5 mins.

  2. I'm a little concerned about the long driving sequences. Is this really going to interest the audience? Your animatic also suggests this is way short of 5 mins in terms of ideas. You may need to think of other elements of the story (not padding). Also, you have still not responded to my comment above. It's good that you are filming, but there is nothing on the blog about this and you should be blogging every day.
    Also - RISK ASSESSMENT? Given your driving shots, it's essential that this is done seriously and properly. This should also have been done by the last deadline, 2 weeks ago!

  3. Looking at this again now with sound (I didn't have sound when I watched it earlier), I'm not clear from your animatic about shot sizes, angles or movement (character and camera) or TIMING and other details that should be clear from a storyboard. The commentary shouldn't be a description of what happens, but should be an explanation of whatever you couldn't include as annotations for the frame. Also, note my comments above - you still need to have a version that is 5 mins, not using this software, so that each shot lasts the actual time that it would in the final film.
