Animatic
Final product
In this module I chose: Lifting someone up.
It was harder than I expected.
I drew a lot of sketches and storybeats, but everything was too obvious.
After some sketches and very useful feedback from the teachers and some fellow students, I was able to come up with a short story.
The story is funny, the chosen act of "lifting" is not obvious and is only used subtly.
For this animatic I used, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects & Adobe Premiere Pro.
References
Reference pictures of lifting someone up.
Thanks to my classmate that I could pick her up for references.
Sketches
Sketches and collage about picking up (digital)
These were things people actually told or did to me.
It was a ranting moment.

Before making the animatic I drew four different storybeats.

Storybeat 3: The fight
Storybeat 4: TOP
Storybeat 2 was chosen after feedback of my teacher.

I made two versions, the first one I only added sound and put everything together.
The second one has small animations.
