We recently had a production meeting with our tutor and we all decided that the speed of animation on Kelpies was going alarmingly slow. One suggestion was made that meant turning all the exterior animated scenes into still images, essentially like a glorified animatic. At first I dismissed the idea as I couldn't envisage it at all, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense! Keeping the interior scenes animated the way they were, it would make the exterior scenes more 'story' like, helping the audience to realise that this timeline was a separate one to the indoor scenes. And of course it would seriously cut down on production time.
We've decided to keep the 3D work in it, and just paint over it slightly to help it blend in with the 2D, meaning that the years work on the water and the models haven't gone to waste. We need to decide quickly what these scenes are going to look like, so I'll be working on some concept this week.
