Final Draft Animatic (Pre-Audio)
FinalDraft_Save7_DANCE_FLOCK_Animatic.mp4Directing this project was both eye-opening and deeply insightful.
This final draft animatic for Dance underwent multiple revisions, guided by regular feedback sessions with producer Dr. Paul Mason. Throughout the process, our team of animators and storyboard artists collaborated closely to refine the material.
Working from the script and beat boards provided by Dr. Paul Mason, I developed a flowchart to guide the film’s sequencing and ensure narrative cohesion. Using this as a foundation, I edited the initial animatic and integrated rough sketches from the flowchart. I also took on the task of storyboarding, drawing over and refining existing files to implement the feedback from our review sessions.
