Short Film Update

So alot has been going on with the short film, i just havent updated in a while. First of all, some small story changes: Jack(purple guy) is now going to hook Clyde(green guy) into playing with his car keys rather than his pocketwatch. It just seemed like a more plausible reason to risk all of your winnings. Plus it gives Clyde a desire to play, setting him up for a perfect character flaw...greed. Next, ive decided to rework shot 35 where Jack shakes Clydes hand and looms over him. I want to break it up into multiple quick cuts to improve the pacing of the sequence. Also, a lot of shots have been lengthened to allow time for some solid acting. Alot of my shots worked in the animatic, but when it came time to animate, more time was needed to fit in the acting that was necessary to make these characters seem alive and to be thinking about what the're doing.

Special thanks to Eric Stallard, Erik Westlund, Gav Gnatovich (spelling?) and Becky Wible-Searles who have really helped me this semester so far to push every shot to be better than i had in mind. Keep it up!

Any and all comments or critiques are extremely appreciated!

HAH! I kept playing scene 29 over and over again. All the little details are great.. His body language, his expression, the key dangling there in his hand and the little push of the button. Well done, sir.

Hi Sean!
I have been checking out your animations, they are looking good.
I am at a disadvantage because I am not sure how they fit together. Hoping to see the animatic with the developed scenes inserted.
Hope it is going well, can't wait to see the result!
