I have timed the protagonist to react in time with the music because he is physically interacting with the sound. Sound hasn't been animated yet, but through the lip sync tool in TV Paint, I can map out which sounds are when, and what reactions they trigger.
Considering this timing, I am aiding the animated performance, creating actions and reactions. So far the scene shows the character's reaction, but you'll hear the sound and this is what will trigger the character to move around. Developing from the animatic, I've added more expressive movements to emphasise the action of the sound and the reaction of the character. I have gone from the character passively onlooking to conveying a sense of his frustration, and when the sound comes in, his startled nature is far better communicated than in the animatic. This careful consideration of emotive characters and realistic reactions will aid the themes and believability of the story
This took about 4 hours to make...
The scene will eventually indicate how long it will take to animate a finished complex scene within the film to aid the production. I will need to complete the background, sound representation and colour before this is realised.
