Storyboard, Animatic and Stage

In order to know what each team member was doing and what extra animations needed to be complete molly came up with this storyboard with the basic blockouts of the story of our animation.

With this in place and our basic ideas down Reece went and produce an animatic which contained a lot more detailed but based of the storyboard. These two elements helped the team to know what needed to be done and what our idea was going to be like.

With this in place we had to make an environment for our animation to take place. I was tasked with making this stage scene.

This was the first stage i did and presented it to the rest of the group and they really liked it. They did mention having it as a closed off scene and included a few more extra details so i went away and improved the scene based on their feedback.

With the feedback i made these improvements to the scene. I added some back stage props to fill it out a bit and also made the stage seating area which i then closed off with the walls. I also added a semi circle part to the stage at the front where the characters can approach the audience more. This was the final improvements i made to the stage environment.
