Animatic- test sequence


Before I start to draw out and scan in my final animation, I had to test out the equipment and carry out some test footage to make sure that it works. I made a very short animatic of the cat character sitting, then standing and walking. This sequence was made using about 30 drawings. Once the images had been uploaded , I exported the file to a quicktime movie and imported it into final cut. Here I cut the animation and looped it so after the cat stands up, it carries on walking for longer. I chose to do this so that I had more to work with, as I am going to add a small soundtrack to it. The drawings in this animation appear to be moving quite slowly, however this is because of the way in which it was shot. It has been shot with    less frames per second than I had wanted which means that it moves slower.  When making my actual film, I will shoot it with more frames per second to get a faster movement.
