I found three different types of animations, an animatic and an animated comic strip.
This animatic is a professional animatic created for the animation called Avatar the last airbender. The animatic is at amazing quality and it is a very good animated storyboard. There isn't much movement but it still works and makes a good impact. I thought that maybe this is something that my client would want. I want to use a the detailed sketch look from this animatic, There isn't as much detail like other images and animations but there is enough for it to look attractive.
This is a animated comic strip based of game called Deus ex. Its been created very well and the its different to an animatic. The visuals look like a comic and but has movement and music to create a attractive visual animated comic. The art style is good and still using panels instead of it looking like an animatic makes it different, unique and very appealing. This is something I believe David my client would want.
After showing him these two animations, David decided that he wanted an animated comic strip which I believe is the better choice. Now I am going to have a look after other animation to help with style and animation techniques.
I really love the art style in the animation. It isn't a range of colours and it focuses on shadows and its very effective. The movement is very smooth but nothing like what I am trying to do for David. The art style is good but I think it maybe a little too abstract for what I am doing here. Even tho this is a different form of animation to what I will be producing, I still want to take elements from it like it. I want to take away the shading elements, this will help create a dark and scary feel, giving the audience tension in certain scenes.
The art style in this animation would suit what I am doing more than the previous one. It's colourful, simple and gives a good sense of life. The shadowing and the lightening suit what has been described to me by the client and I think create a scene like this, but different in colours and background could still give that dynamic lightening creating a peaceful and warm feeling. I really like the voices added to animation I think it really works and gives the sense of conversation.
This so far is the best example I could find. I like everything about this. It is a comic art style and what the animator has done has moved the camera is such a way that it looks like the characters are moving, you still have slight movement but they are very snappy. It got more of an animatic feel but as a comic. This is different to the other one because the other one had the panels this one doesn't but the camera movements gives it a better sense of movement. This is something that I personally have wanted to create for a while, and I think that this would be very effective but I'm not too sure how long this would take; I don't think it will take too long because the story that I have been given isn't that long.
I will be passing this research over to David (my client) for him to have a look at the videos and to see if anything inspires him.
