The Animatic

This satisfies my need for a plan. I still haven't completely flushed out how I'm going to accomplish some of the effect shots, but we'll see when i actually get there.



None of the motion of anything in this is final its only a guide.

notes:
Cut_00
I don't like the zoom so much. Another idea i like more fade from black to a slow minor pan across text of cover as text appears, once text is done coming in the camera gets sucked into the center keyhole.
Cut_01
Think i don't want to see the character at the beginning of the shot experiment with zoom techniques.
Cut_02
might need to be a few frames longer, can easily take them from the following cut.
Cut_03
At the end of this its not shown but i want one of the boards to be broken at the bottom of the crate and have the creatures eye blink in the blackness right before shot ends.
Cut_04
Need to figure out a different camera motion, that one ping pongs with the previous shot, feels wierd.
Cut_05
lock on box needs to face up when it stops bouncing. When box jolts i want black smoke trails to come out of some cracks.
Cut_06
Might switch around the time on screen of the shoes to be longer than the midsection.
Cut_07ab
Inside the box i want to be almost black besides some rim lighting from the cracks to the outside, and when the xylophone is struck the xylophone and character should light up that color
Cut_08
Motion of character obviously not going to be that jerky just need to make sure the key turn is on the beat.
Cut_09
Want tiny pieces of the box to chip away as it shakes and black and white streaks shoot out.
Cut_10
White and black streaks shooting around characters face. I feel like this cut should be longer so i'll need to take away from the previous cut maybe a tiny bit from the one after.
Cut_11
after the explosion everything is super slow motion to the point where its almost not moving. I'm not sure if i want a total silhouette of everything, but i definately feel like it should almost be a still frame graphic. The heart like object thats left i'd like to have beat to the rhythm of the drums while everything around moves slow.
...
Cut_12
If i make it this far it could be cool to come back from black after credits and in normal speed have the character grab the heart and pull it to her, and go back to black with the old animated vignette close in on the heart.

looks super good so far. there are mostly good parts.

What do you think about zooming OUT from the eye once you go IN to the keyhole instead of IN on the face once you go IN to the keyhole?

also - i think the beginning needs some music underneath it - something kind of simple wordless and eerie - really low but it'll fade UNDER the main song.

totally agree with your comment on cut 4.

i don't know if it's accurate - but if you want, i can figure out the relative correct notes on the xylophone for the monster to hit.

animatic looks cool though, it seems like a good length and does a good amount.
