giving ideas to L6 Students

After producing my animatic, I showed it to the L6 students who after looking at it thought some of ideas were better than his original storyboard ideas, also some of the scenes I animated in the animatic gave him new ideas that he intends to use in his final animatic.

-Timing: he now has a good idea on what some of the scenes would look like and how slow or how fast it should be.

-Camera shaking: I personally added some camera effects to certain shots to make the animatic look more alive (but apparently he likes the idea and wishes to incorporate it in his animation) > the scene where the dad jumps over the camera .

Fade Effect combined with zoom out - Those shots were still on the storyboard but where supposed to be animated frame by frame on the final animation. I personally wanted the animatic to have some movement but had know idea how to animate certain scenes, so all I did is combine a fast to slow zoom out effect with a fade out effect, they have been applied to three different scenes and little did I know the L6 student would like it and use it in his final animation.

-His final animation was supposed to contain to still shots with no movement at all, I took the initiation to animate them in my animatic (not reall still but still a still shot in a way). I used the ultra fast to slow panning shot technique. The image pans really quickly in the opposite direction to the movement to slow down and focus on the important part of the scene - Like on the scenes below

He liked the idea so much and the way it looked in the animatic that he decided to do the same in his final animation.

The last idea I gave him without wanting too once again, is the scene where the dad pulls the son out of the ditch, he wanted it to be a frame by frame animation, in my animatic I planned to make it a fade out effect animation. When he saw how it looked in the final animatic he decided to do the same in his final animation because he thought it worked quite well.
