Animatic Feedback


  • Good generally-    Good 1st shot
  • Few places where shot is held too long
  • Add another location for performance shots 2/3 way through
  • 'hand on tree' shot too long

I will be looking into ideas for the second performance element of the video. One idea would be to bring back the projection idea that was originally thought of when finding ideas for the performance elements within the video.
This second performance element could be brought in around 2:46 near the close of the song just after the artist has 'transformed' in the narrative piece.

The 'hand on tree shot will now be cut down from six seconds to two seconds and will feature one or two new shots from 1:28-1:32.
