XXIII.Final animatic of the story

For my final animatic, I've done two animatic. One of them is without any camera movement and the other is with the camera movements and with a prototype of a music.

XXI. Story line

Probably these days I've not uploaded to much my blog, but I'm doing the animatic and that's a lot of work, and I prefer to upload this when are finished. However, I could upload my work, but later it's possible that improve it during the process.

For the moment I've my storyline done. I did two, and one of them is divided by scenes.

XX. Scene

During this weekend I've been working on my storyboard and thinking a bit more about my set.

How a result I've changed a bit my set. Firstly I was doing a set with three panels dividing my scene with three zones or scenes to project over every one individually. But thinking on the projector and the sizes I need to construct, my set was probably too much large for to be inside the projector's light and have a good image quality, so I had to try to found a solution to resolve that. 

After some tests I concluded I would do only one set, with only one part and it'll be less large than three panels, but more large than one. The size will have a aspect ratio like 3.1 that's more large than a 16:9 and it's like a ultra panoramic view. 

To imagine how it can be, here there are an image that illustrate it, and the size I chose is 2.75:1 (source: wikipedia)

And the follow image represents my final set, and what I'll construct with paper:

XIX. Characters ideas

Trying to define my characters I was thinking about to integrate real people with a drawing or illustrations made by me.

If I did a real people, I should to film them and then I would do a integration to the mapping. Probably I could record  the main characters like Saint George, the princess or the king with a chroma and do a post production mixing all of them with the other elements of the story made of 2D, like illustrations, photos...

Looking for ideas I found a video mapping that use a boy like a base to the projection, and they get a amazing result. So if I record some people, I would like to do something like the following video:

XVIII. References

That video could be a reference for my final project work. The style probably would be a bit different, but the idea it's more or less the same than me. However, the scene is like a real theatre, so, different than me, because I'll do it like a litter theatre.

XVII. Characters used for the trailer

There are four important characters that appears in my trailer: Saint George, the princess, the dragon and the king. For the moment I draw all of them with Flash and using only two colours to draw them, black and white. I chose this technique because there was more contrast between the white background and the characters and was more elegant and stylish for the moment.
Moreover, I chose this colour because the background will be made of white cardboard, so the black colour it's the most useful to get this.

All of them are a beta characters and it's probably that them change a bit.
