Earlier this week I set about putting together the animatic from the thumbnails that Katy had created from my thumbnails to see how our sound and story worked together and to check that our animation fitted within the time restrictions.
Putting together an animatic to a pre-recorded clip was something that I had never actually done before, in fact I've never actually added sound to an animatic before, so I found that I had to pay a lot more attention to this task than previous times. Having said this, it did allow for me to gain a new appreciation for having an animatic and I actually enjoyed seeing our work come together.

In terms of content I'm quite happy with what we have so far and I feel that the story is clear and well paced. However, there are a few adjustments to make, such as adding in character movement to capture personality and changing a few camera angles, which I have told Katy about and she will make the amendments in the final storyboard. Creating the animatic to a pre-recorded track has allowed me to see how the dialogue works with the story and place in appropriate pauses for characters to respond to the events throughout the story, as well as pauses for gags/ jokes and overall I am pleased with how it all comes together. If I were to change anything, I feel that it may be beneficial to re-record some of Katy's dialogue because I feel that some of the questions sound lazy and as though the character is uninterested, which isn't the mood we want to create.
Whilst watching through the animatic, I noticed that the dialogue with the relevant pauses included runs very close to the time restriction and I have suggested to Katy that we could include some of the opening credits as the robin is asking the first question if we need to have that little extra time. We also need to think about background sounds and implement them into the final animatic.
