Behind the Scenes…

Most SOM projects have style frames prepared, but we needed to make this one one from scratch. I decided to make these so I would have most of the objects I needed for animation, and to create an animatic as well. These were suggested steps, but I found them to very useful in timing out an assignment like this.

And here is the animatic from the style frames. You can see some things have been changed for the final version. The rain comes in the opposite way (I liked it more, but it also drew the eye to the side of the screen the lightning “drop” would come down from). I also had planned to make the sky split into 2 colors, which you can still see in the animatic, but that was ultimately scrapped.
