Once I felt like I had conducted enough research and I had made sure that Hannah had her designs finished with mine I was finally able to start work on the planning of our entire animation. I knew how I wanted to visualise each scene so I attempt to plan out the script and camera angles at the same time.
Overall I’m rather impressed with what I’ve been able to come up with, It wasn’t easy planning it on my own but I was aware it needed to get done and as director I took charge. Once I had finished with the script I forwarded it to Hannah to check she was happy with everything and as far as feedback went nothing was needed to be changed.
