After feedback from yesterdays class I added cameras to my initial block scene and set them up to resemble my animatic. This is something I should have done anyway in order to test out how the animation looked with the cameras in place and to test if the set-up worked. I made a few attempts at it and this is what I've got at the moment:
I also need to make some tweaks to the speed of the character's movement after he's been scared on the stairs. It needs to be sped up as he's meant to be running. I also need to add in a sound for the part where he jumps just so it reads better ready for it to be sent onto Ed. I should have all of this in place by the end of this afternoon.
I also had a session with a professional voice actor yesterday who narrated the voice over for my mime script. I took the script to draft 4, making a few more cuts in the length and took this version in with me to the recording studio. We did three takes of it and they were all great! He did a really good job of it and even added some improvised bits. I liked the voice and tempo, though it's probably going to need a bit of editing as its currently coming out at around 58 seconds which is way too long! However this is including some pauses so when I put it all together it should come out a bit shorter, but it'll still need a bit or editing I think but hopefully not too much. I plan to film some video reference for it over this weekend so I can make a start on the blocking for next weeks classes.
Oh I watched a really beautiful short yesterday. The combination of the music and style of the piece really work great together. I love the character designs in it!
