visualizing the animations for Spectacular Movements - I love seeing it all in one place

Playing with texture, evolving from Art Director Al-Azar's drawings... from our ingenious Venezuelan team of animators

 Idea from our animator, Gustavo, for an opening of the first animation and the entire film, beginning with a cloth frame.  Then, Alejandro, señor Al-Azar director de arte de animación, came up with the idea of animating a weaving, in which we zoom into a scene happening on the cloth.

picture lock!

People, we have picture lock, meaning we have the final cut of the filmed images of this film! Now, we continue to work on the animation and the sound post-production process, as well as beginning to look at distribution. For this final task, we're working with designer Katherine Dosallas. She's created this sketch for the credits, and the below poster, both in their initial stages... for you all to enjoy the process!

 

More storyboard for the animation

Hello good people! After a month and a half of recovery from such intense internautic activity for the campaign Kickstarter, I'm back! During this time we've been working directly on the film: we are about to close the image editing (!), and we have dived into the animation. Here are some of the animation storyboard sketches, drawn by Sam Manuel, a Venezuelan artist.

For those interested in the process, these sketches came from a script illustrated with reference... now we'll take these sketches and make an "animatic" to make sure we have the timing right... after that, we'll pass it all to the art director, who will draw it ALL over again in separate layers, with his own style... after that, it will pass from the art director to the animators, who will make their own magic.

For now, here's two sketches from the first animation (there will be 7 total, and soon to come I'll post more sketches):
