Week 5: First scene animated

First walk in the scene, I wasn't too sure how much of the walk I needed to animate. If it's wrong then I shall change this and make Norman walk up the second set of stairs.

Week 4: Animatic 2.0 (Updated)

Here's the animatic version of the storyboard, this has been done in After Effects. I'm rather happy with this, but I wasn't quite sure whether to do few lipsync frames for the quote or to keep it as one frame, in the end I settled for 3 frames to show how Norman2 is talking. Also at the moment there is only the quote in sound, background noises like walking up the stairs sound and fall down will be added later.

Week 4: Scene in 3D

 Here are some screen shots of my scene made in Maya

Week 3: Improved Storyboard 2.1

This has an updated drawing in frame 9e. This change is better because it shows Norman2 pushing the camera rather than in the previous version where his hand wasn't as extended as it should have been. 

Week 2: Research of props

Since my story takes place in a cottage-like house I think it will need a lot of framed photographs, maybe some old posters (some with flowers), few vases and in the room I would like to place a simple table with a chair, chest of drawers as well as a wardrobe and a shelf with books.                    

Week 2: Improved storyboard

Week 2: Improved story

I have shown my idea and storyboard to Peter, and after a small talk we came to a conclusion about changing a part of story, which I think will improve it.

The action takes place in a house/cottage with many stairs, and wee can see an exhausted Norman walking up them until he reaches the top of them and goes to meet Norman2. Even though he is exhausted he happily moves towards Norman2 for a hug. What Norman doesn't expect is that his friend pushes him towards the door which causes for Norman to lose his footing and causes for him to fall down the same stairs that he walked up. Norman2 moves towards the edge of stairs and says "Oh, no. It wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast." (this is a quote from King Kong film from 1933) and strikes a flamboyant pose. We came to conclusion that Norman2 is crazy like Caligula, and that he is implying that he is the 'beauty' therefore he needs to be sort of camp rather than emotionless or disappointed.
