This week we showed off our pre-production presentation together. Due to nervousness we had out presentation last, but the presentation went really well. Aodhan and Sarah gave us some good feedback on how are story is flowing a lot better and is better paced, and when they saw our animatic, one of the issues they had for it was the panning across each page and the timing. The animation tests and colours of the characters were highlights of our presentation. One of the things we could try was to play around with the lighting and the spotlights to get a better sense of how they work for the circus scenes.

I made several animatics of scenes in the storyboards, including one of Brent rolling his eyes.

My favourite of the three animatics is one where one of the circus performers is balancing on two balls, and then bounces upwards. I used my knowledge of anticipation and following through, along with suspending the ball in mid air to create an eye catching animation presented here.
