The last Animatic showed my animation just keeping to the timings I predicted on my dopesheet. On this one, I changed around some key poses onto different frames and swapped some poses around. It definetly resulted in a slightly smoother animation.
After receiving some feedback both from Cathy and my girlfriend Nina, drastic possible improvements were identified. Mainly, that the fox was not reacting enough. Cathy helped me to visualise the Fox showing more fear/dread of the Chicken saying to imagine its like a child getting told off by their Mother. She also mentioned that it would be good to make the Chicken fly.
So I went home and took some more video reference of me acting the scared Fox. Then did the following drawings from them:
I also looked at some very handy YouTube videos featuring a Chicken flying in slow motion. YouTube is such a great tool for research! I did the following drawings from the YouTube videos:
I also posted these in to the 11 Second Club forum and got some useful feedback saying I needed to give it fresh poses on the 'why would I put it there' from the Chicken and also the last 'Youuu stole it' from the Chicken.
With all this new reference I was able to construct a whole new set of Poses for both the Fox and Chicken. Here is my final Animatic I did before constructing the Final Animation..
