VLOG #5: Animatic

So far we've done the story, we've drawn up boards, we've recorded dialog... now we start applying some visual timing to it all with the Animatic! The Animatic stage is pretty funky if only because it starts to feel like you're animating... but you're not. I will revisit an Animatic sometimes dozens of times in the next couple stages before I get to actually animating just to get things tightened up just right.I say about 1/2 in that I had "computer issues"... that's a bit of an understatement! I'm sure that has happened to us all and it's incredibly frustrating. I would recommend that if you can't fix a problem within 2 hours, make the rest of the day dedicated to JUST solving that issue and when it's fixed just call it a day... if you try to work any more past that it'll just lead to more frustration; in times like those you really need "a win" so just learn when to walk away.Don't forget to subscribe, join this site using FriendConnect (using your google, twitter, or yahoo accounts), and/or become a fan of Rubber Onion Animation on facebook (links in the sidebars)
