Process and Production: Narrative Improvements

Process and Production

Narrative Improvements

To make changes to and improve the narrative of my animation, I needed to re-evaluate the storyboard and make some minor changes to make sure the narrative makes sense. So that Sumac doesn't just "appear there", I've added an additional shot, where Sumac appears in a cloud of smoke. This also helps to visualise his powers, rather than have the audience assume them.

Then, Mearas eyes change colour and the animation continues with how it was before. I've decided to add "glitching" effects in post-production, however this is not illustrated in the storyboard. 

I additionally made these changes to the animatic.
