Been flat out with this recently - trying to visualise the whole film and get it to read is one difficult task. I've been planning potential pan shots to help with the narrative. I was working in Digicel Flipbook at first to story borad as I like drawing with bitmap rather than with vector line work as its better to sketch with. But have switched to story board pro for it panning features. Its just easier to work with and I just want to get it down right now and stop being so fussy.
I've been revisiting me concept painting too, trying out potential pan shots. I sketched the bottom of this in yellow by coincidence but actually quite liked the way it looked so I continued it in more detail.
my animatic is becoming quite detailed but its really helping me imagine the overall look for the film. Plus with never really worked on backgrounds with this much detail before so I'm kind of exploring my abilities at the same time. I should save it for the actually backgrounds themselves but I'm now starting to think I can really base them on the animatic layouts if need be. In some case I will need to for the sake of the time of the pan shots.
I rough them out quite loosely first and then layer more detail as the image and my intent becomes clearer. I make it sound like I'm making it up as I go along!
