I recommend watching this with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack in the background it is really awesome! I just did it then and the music was perfectly matching each scene and cut, I was blown away to say the least...
Awesome little animation I really enjoyed watching it

I probably should say no promises as it might have been a once off planets aligning kind of event...

I really like the way we get to see the three stages of youth, adolescence, and adult. It's an effective way to build up impact of the final battle. I think a lot of people experience jealousy like this, even towards people we call friends.

Cheers man, yeh thats what i wanted to show. there is also a slight change in drawing style and the way each it cut to represent a different target audience for each age range. Well, that was the idea anyway.

really? Damn. I blame the dA film section...it took ages to upload, like 30 mins or something, while on youtube (link in the description) it took maybe 6 mins. Crazy.

As someone who really wants to get into storyboarding, this was amazing to watch. Excellent work!

AngelCrusher In reply to SilentNomad [2011-04-05 00:02:15 +0000 UTC]

thanks very much better. There were so many panels going in to this, but thats what it takes to tell a story successfully in just storyboards. I say get drawing and storyboard little ideas whenever you can...and then if you can, put them into animatic formats to see if the story works, and whether you have enough panels to tell the story effectively without confusion.

AngelCrusher In reply to Bug-Off [2011-04-03 20:14:59 +0000 UTC]

well it was big. i had no intentions of animating it, i was just specializing in doing storyboarding and thought since i put the work into the storyboards, I may as well make the animatic so people could watch it at the student exhibition.

well these characters were pretty generic in their design, i dont think they would be too interesting in revisiting them.
