Rigging Reel Feb2012 from Nathan Bryan on Vimeo.

Stage 20: Rig Fix

Stage 19: Animatic

Today I finished up the basic storyboards and worked on the animatic.

Stage 18: Storyboards

Just a small update today.  I am still working on storyboards and rearranging them and taking some out and adding new ones to get the story to flow smoothly.  Tomorrow I will be finishing them up and making an animatic and perhaps work on the background some.

Stage 17: Storyboards/Background

Now that I have the characters that I knew I wanted for this project, I have set out t o find a story.  Yesterday, I watched reference video for ideas and today I started with writing up ideas and sketching them out.  By no means are these necessarily finalized but they are a start to storyboards and color scheme for the background.  I will not post all of my storyboards here for the sake of literary privacy in this story.

Stage 16: Reference

Now that I have some clear ideas of what I am working with, I will start drawing up storyboards and background designs together. The idea is to have a cohesive story that goes from one emotion to another. The background is not thought of as a separate entity but as an emotional support to the story.
