Similar to the art bible, I had very minimal input on the creation of the animatic. Luke Grace, one of our two artists, was the main mastermind behind its creation.
While my input was minimal, I provided Luke with advice over the usage of audio in his animatic. It was originally completed without audio, but I suggested that he should find copyright free SFX to add more emphasis and depth to each action the main character makes (e.g. glass smashing sound for when he's thrown out of a window). Our animatic showcases the story of the game (as was developed so far), such as the player's train being delayed, them fixing a console to get it to arrive, fighting the conductor and transitioning to the mirror dimension, etc. We wanted to use the animatic primarily to communicate the story, but it also had a secondary purpose of showcasing the designs we had made of the conductor and player character so far. Luke primarily animates and draws in Krita, which is what he used to create this animatic.
I think Luke did a brilliant job at translating the concept art and storyboards created by him and Archie into an animatic that showcases the story we all plotted out together during the earlier segments of pre-production. Additionally, it has a humorous quality to it that (if pitched to a real client) would likely help to bring them on-board.
The biggest strengths the animatic has its its loyalty to the concept art created before it and the fairly good quality of the drawn panels that accurately depict the story we had discussed so far. As for improvements, they mostly pertain to improvements that need to be made on the overall story through our feedback from our pre-production meeting, such as further justifying the mirror dimension's involvement in our game. As previously stated (time and time again), I think the animatic represents what our team had invisioned for the game up to that point.
