the Animatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This first came out at over 5 minutes long! so some of my 331 drawings had to be dropped! i cut out some sequences as they seemed to only complicate the story although they would have been nice shots to animate but they are not worth makin the story suffer. i managed to cut it down quite a bit and along with some new frames to link others together it ended up at 3 mins 48 which is a nice time for me

the storyboard

finally got it finished after 331 drawings! i took careful consideraions on camera angles to produce some interesting shots. here are some examples

hair tests

pistol reference
