Week 5: Thursday 25.05

Today was spent refining our first animation. After showing our draft to Mon, he thought we could go even more into the horror movie type genre and try and ham it up even more. He suggested not showing Flounder getting eaten by the bag, as trailers are all about building suspense. Instead he thought we could try a zoom in on the evil bag, and have Flounder being chased from behind rather than swimming into the bag to be eaten.

Danielle has worked on new illustrations to add more character and humour:

And I have changed the animation slightly to try out Mon's suggestions. We have also removed the typewriter effect from the text as we thought it would work better with the sound effects to have the text appearing as one line:

We really like the direction this is going, and we will re-work our second storyboard to fit this theme. Going forward, Danielle will continue to work on coding and the look of our website and I will continue to refine our motion graphics.
