Animatics Group A

This is not the real animatics because I don't have final cut and I had to use other programs so I can't check the time very well (and we have still to discuss about some particular). Some part are too long, some too short.
The sound is just my silly voice recorded from the computer and the effects during the transformation of the shadows are not the final sounds. I just put some sounds to give the idea that will be no silence.
Claire... Anthia.. sorry if it's terrible ^^" We'll fix all at school

(Ah.. ignore the tic toc of the sound... it's just because my headphones don't work and so the computer has also recorded the rithm of the program)

Ian and Callum's Anamatic.

You've seen the storyboard, now see the anamatic! Just for reference, we reckon most of this will consist of pixelated hands, and with the food a mix of paper and real food - and anywhere in between...plus, the music probably won't change much, apart from next time actually being in tune and time.

Anyway yeah:

Hazel Group E









Imagine it quite loose linework, so it seems on the move. A slight touch of colour to the piece as it progresses and im still working on the music but somthing subtle. I want to keep it short subtle and delicate. what do you think? :)
