The Lucky pre-vis animation in my shoes was very difficult as i had to make and import assets and characters iv never made before into one scene and make it look like its from the same concept and world especially with rigging as it was my first time animating a character and adding a skeleton inside. I used a lot of farm based references from children’s shows and books as most of them have the same basic layout and story panel with the protagonist going out to explore the world or make friends, but i made mine with a twist on the same line of story.  

A few hiccups along the way which was to be expected as i got assistance with tasks that was out of my league but overall i think i made a world that was true to my original concept and character design. Layout was one of the big issues as my concept its a flat world overall no big environment changes but did move around it a lot with shadows and trees in the way. Especially with the assets and buildings themselves i thought they were overall of the most easiest  out of the whole process with basic building and environment shapes, so there was many references’s for them unlike roosters and the ground layout. 

hi so i am resubmitting my video to my blog because i forgot to write a few things about it so here i go

in the original previz storyboard video (also found on my blog) you will notice various shots are different  for example 

in the storyboard clip at the start she is sitting on a swing, i changed this because i figured it would make for more of a smooth shot 

originally i had the feet shot on a side view but i changed it to front veiw they were originally marching hence the side view, but i decided to have them all lined up because i wanted the troops all set up and ready.

also i originally had a few of the soldiers trapped at the fence but i changed it to one for two reasons 1; time constraints and 2; i wanted only one soldier to alert the head soldier 

here are some shots of my finale previs video, i am going to explain them a little bit for you

first pic: i put this scene in here because i wanted to to be clear that the bad guys are out in the open  and obvious, i have them lined up like soldiers to show they are under control

second pic: the second shot is of were i have the main character running at the camera before passing it, i did this shot because i thought it added a little more thrill to it or rather made it look more interactive 

third pic: in the third pic you will see the scene were the purple person has jumped a fence, i had her jump a fence because she is a person with cat like abilities and the black men are just normal henchmen and can not jump it, in short she knew she could get a head

Already I had notice my first problem. I haven’t properly set up the first short correctly. Unfortunately for me I couldn’t get the door on properly so I think I am going to use some of my shots from the drawn part of my previs. Even so I haven’t properly setup the cameras for the beginning sequence I’ve already just straight through a couple shots in. I must follow the shot list closer next time.

this is my final video for my pre visualisation class, im very impressed with myself given the amount of will power i used not to un-alive my laptop so claps for me, in all seriousness i have learnt alot from this experience but if i were to do it again ( i most likely will have to) id want to have some more time to realy get in there and perfect it, i know previs isnt supposed to be perfect but hey...im sure even previs has a low level crap style that i really hope i didnt end up doing.
