Animatic

I've finished storyboarding and made a start on the animatic. It's much more comprehensible than the storyboard. I need to improve the way I communicate through my storyboards. I worry that the sketchy, very rough style might not make proper sense in a real life pitch.

I sent the script to a couple of people who didn't know it, and they said the story made sense which is good. A friend suggested that I could rearrange the scenes. Instead of going:

1. CLIMACTIC GUNFIGHT
2. SCOTT'S LIFE LEADING UP TO GUNFIGHT
3. RETURN TO CLIMACTIC GUNFIGHT

I could disperse the scenes of Scott's life as flashbacks that take place throughout the gunfight. The gunfight, rather than being a separate scene, could be the framing device for the whole story. Plus, this approach could shorten the animation and make less work for us.

I'll deliberate with my group on it.
