Film Introduction Animatic




I started developing an idea for a film a few years back now and now i'm beginning to see all the parts come to together I decided to start an introduction to this film.

I chose Erik Satie, for the gentle but firm piano music, here there is not only a contrast between the beautiful piano and the harsh, metal surroundings but also an inherent link that plays on visual and the sound. I worked on bringing the music and the scenes together so the piano would fall and flow with the machinery and wrote the storyboard itself along side the music in this case. This created a poetic bond between the machines carrying out their tasks and audience's ears. If this was a moving animation I would hope the audience would be gently carried through the grim reality of the mysterious facility, having many questions in mind for when the introduction ends and the first scene begins.

These tracks seemed to give a more eery, huge cave echo feeling but also certain depth giving the music somewhere to go. This progression is a very important concept in the underground facility/cave as the introduction needs to swiftly carry the audience through several stages and keeping the audience interested.

I took the whole first track and edited the second around the end. I thought of several ways to do this but this way provaled to keep in time with certain parts that were key.
