animatic update

No shading as you will see..

(You might as well just skip to the last 25 seconds to see the new segment.)

some singing poses..

I shouldn't be trying too hard to clean these up, but at the same time, I'm trying to figure out how to draw the main character.. Just hope I speed up a little soon enough.

(inhales)

today is the day

your son becomes

a man~

papa~

what it sounds like..

(I'm using Nick Desantis' performance as my working track.

I have no rights whatsoever to the recording.

Animatic daily #1

started making an animatic as I board. you can see all the shitty drawings I did on first few days. :P

Felt like this was needed since this is a musical and most of the acting cues are based on music.

I can already see a lot of problems with the compositions  and how much the focus jumps around between shots. And I can see where I need to put more panels to make things more clear.

I will update the animatic as I hit each 10 seconds.

some more

Some story panels

After two and a half years of slacking off, finally started storyboarding this thing.

Probably will end up redoing them all over again, but here are some excerpts from the first sequence .

 

More character doodles

Haven't given up yet!

Giving it another shot. Hopefully it'll go better this time..

First attempt. Too much hair. Face too much monkey like.

Second try. I actually like the proportion of the face.

Today's tries. realized I wanted to make his pose more gorilla like.

(Upright back with hips pulled further back.)

Another try at the son. Getting some ideas.

Will try tomorrow.

Result of gorilla-fying the dad more. Still not simple enough.
