The Skies Below Animatic (latest version)

Finally an animatic on the blog! It’s taken a while but the animatic for The Skies Below has been under constant development and it’s still not finished yet. Still though, it’s about time I posted something on it so here it is:


As it stands it is still quite incomplete. It’s evident that the character designs are not present in all of the shots because like the animatic the designs were also constantly changing. Things yet to come for this animatic are the layouts, the redrawing of several other shots for some consistency, the animated version of the intro, part 2 of the crash sequence and the finished Father character. The music that plays for the intro is the first draft of the final score, the rest of the score is being used as a placeholder. This project can be described as very ambitious but I am very prepared to tone down the complexity of the action if necessary.

I’m hoping it makes more sense now as in the previous versions of this animatic the fast paced nature of the story made it unclear and a little un-readable in places. One durastic change did take place in the story where-by the God ‘character’ was removed from 2 shots as it took the story away from its original point; faith, rather than proving the existence of God. I think the faith aspect of this story comes across much more in this version and should be even clearer once everything is complete.
