I've recently put together an animatic, using the tests that i filmed before as well as some new photographs taken of key events within my story. So a kind of Photographic storyboard combined with my testing. At the moment i think it is understandable apart from the ending, which i wish to work on before my mid project review next week, i also hope to record some of my own sounds and add them to the animatic before then.
I am still undecided on the ending, my main idea showing a video collage of the technician working with the tools, a series of frames showing different videos of him learning to use the tools which would then fade out - or be combined with the credits.
After speaking to a tutor on Tuesday i found that maybe a pattern of what appears when the tools are used may help the story more, such as only "food" appears is used throughtout the animation combined with the tools. I'm not sure if this would be repetative or would work well, maybe a closer look into it will tell me.
Another comment made was to make it even more surreal, adding more objects / products into the film, standing aside from the normal, such as sawdust appearing when drilling a hole, but jelly or something similar appearing instead. I like this idea and had actually noted it down before and i think i shall persue this when filming. I'm still not sure about the whole idea of a pattern to my film but i like the idea of throwing in more random things, making the whole process more fun and making it my own.
On a side note, i now really dislike the green effect i have added to the lighting, both in the tests and the photographic storyboard, this i will definately change in the final filming, using white light to light my set, but also keeping it a little dark to add to the effect of a strange workshop.
Below is my animatic :)
