Animatic teaser

So as mentioned in a previous post, the whole animatic will never go up here to avoid spoiling the phenomenally hilarious and spiritually moving plot......er...... but since it's almost finished we thought we'd post a small section as a bit of a teaser for the film.  Normally on a production the first animatic is done in pencil (or the digital equivalent) from the storyboards, but because this is a personal project and I find it easier to tweak timings and shot composition in 3D, we went straight into Maya.  This also gives you a kind of basic previz too where you can see if the camera moves etc work. 

You will notice that there is no sound on this, and we did the same with Remote, with the thought being, that if it predominantly worked and everything made sense as a film in silent pantomime, then it's pretty solid. The characters and props in this are basic proxy placeholders, but hopefully it's enough to wet your whistle for when the actual film is finished in May.  As in May-be next year, May-be the year after...or May-be the one after that!
