As this will be a well presented short film I feel this will be perfect to have either at the beginning or at the end of my showreel. As the main job I want to get in the industry is an animator, so for my showreel I want to focus on showing my animation. However with the project 3D module next term we will be working on an environment based on a piece of concept. However this could be something character related too, but I'm still 50/50 on this. Because if I work on a piece environment and I place it in my show reel which will be animation related it may feel a little out of place. But if I create a character in a small diorama, this wouldn't be a huge stretch and it wouldn't feel out of place too with the rest of the show reel.
Looking back to week 4 when I began planning my showreel out, I had planned a few small animations that wouldn't be any more than 10 seconds and to add variety. here's a storyboard of one of them I did a few weeks ago.
To display these and other animations I have planned I will work on them as animatics. Animatics are a moving storyboard that help plan how my animations are going to play out. It's a widely used tool for example at Walt Disney Animation in there feature films and short films. Here's an example of them for the feature film Tarzan. In this video the storyboard animatic and the final finished film are played at the same time.
My animation ideas were planned a few weeks before deciding on an idea for my Independent Studies module were I'll be having a short animated film looking at comedy techniques. At the beginning when I was looking at others show reels I found that they would have small animation clips that felt like they were from scene.
