Animation Mentor - Class 5 - Week 11 - Final Layout

After getting feedback from my mentor and fellow students I decided to make a few changes to the magazine imagining part of the short. I feel it works better, please let me know what you think.

Here is the finished layout.

Animation Mentor - Class 5 - Week 10 - Full Layout

So based on the duration of my short (1 minute) I have decided to do the 6 month class 6 instead of 3 month. This will give me the additional time I will need to finish all the animation.

So since the last time I wrote we have been working on layout. Layout is a very rough placement of the characters in the set as they will apear in the short based on the storyboard. It gave me the opportunity to scout around for different camera angles and make sure certain things working like constraints on props and music and sound effects. This was also the time to model the set and any props that I will use so I worked on the houses, the street, the fence, and the props like the weight, magazines and watter can (thanks again Alex for the flower).

So the last 3 weeks I finished the layout. I have one more week to make any changes and corrections based on student, mentor, and of course your feedback. Please feel free to show this to friends and get their first impressions. Please let me know what they say. Is it clear? does it make sense? if something is unclear, what is it? Do they find it funny? If they think something needs to be fixed, what is it?

Here is the finished layout.
