3D Animatic "The Good the Bad and the Bugly"

After I scripted, got the script approved, then cast, directed and recorded the vocal talent, I put together the audio track (in most narrative animations, the audio of dialog comes first). This was the next step in the process. This is how you more or less direct animators. For this 3D animatic, the animators provided rough still models of the characters and created scene files in Light Wave. I then went in and positioned and created camera paths and also puppeted the models to further illustrate my intention. I worked side by side with the animators at this step, but by learning the basic skill set of working directly with cameras in Light Wave, I was able to take away any chance of misinterpretation of my direction for the feel of the final piece. The finished piece is here: https://vimeo.com/7096008
