Shaping Up Animatic

Here's the animatic for my story. I used iMovie to edit the storyboard pictures, add sound effects and music. Hope you enjoy it...

Color Keys

These are 2 of the most important scenes in the story.

My character realizes how tiny he is and thinks he might never realize his dream of growing up big...like a skyscraper.

The 2nd color key, shows the new beautiful skyscraper glowing in the night cityscape...kind of gives away the ending...

Story Development "Shaping Up"

I developed a story about teamwork, cooperation and the power in numbers. My tiny character achieved what seemed impossible. He realizes his dreams with the help of his friends.
This is a universal story, because it could be applied to any setting and different types of characters.
The link contains the premise and treatment of the story.

Maya 3D - Ball drop animation

I'm happy with the results. I was able to give the ball some "squash and stretch" in Illustrator, but found it a bit more difficult to do in Maya. I think it would make the bounce more believable.

Traditional Ball Drop

I used Adobe Illustrator to create a traditional animation. Then exported as a SWF, and converted to a movie from there. It was fun to do, and gave me a good idea how to animate it in Maya.
