Last week I learned the importance of organising files; the first version of the animatic took around 4 (very stressful) days because nobody had the same files, project files kept being lost and nothing was properly organised.
This week I set up a google drive folder which enables everyone to share files. One of the main problems last week was people editing scenes in premiere and then giving me the final export without the project files or assets. Everything is now running a lot smoother and me and Ben managed to get the above animatic done in 2 (much less stressful) afternoons.
The project is progressing nicely (despite not having a producer). At the moment I'm concentrating on developing the story and making the film as funny as possible. I feel like the current animatic is a bit clunky and relies too much on sound effects so I'm going to try and make the next one flow better. I'm going to try and add more jokes to the montage scene and have it as one continuos shot like the fight scenes in "Superjail!".
The next step is to recruit more people. I'm going to try and get someone working on animation tests for the characters and someone working on backgrounds and colour schemes.
Below is a colour test I did for one of the breakfast scenes;
