Experimental Animatic so far

(The video hasn't uploaded very well so please excuse the jumps)

This is a quick animatic for the first section of my experimental animation. This is essential because I need to know exactly how many frames there are in each movement so it is in time with the music.

The basic idea behind my animation is it all starts with a book of 'fond memories'. The book opens to a page with a postcard of beautiful scenery saying the typical 'wish you were here'. A stick man has been drawn on top. As the music progresses, he gets out his violin and starts to play along.

He eventually unzips his stick man self to reveal a real human (done in pixelation) who then continues to play the violin. He walks along with the scenery moving behind him until he stop in front of a woman who is also playing the violin (its a duet). Towards the end of the piece they embrace and it fades out with the music.

My next step is to do some more detailed animation for the stick man section to print out, and to do the rough timing for the pixelation part.
