Improved Animatic 'Loser saves the day'

Ok, after the very productive meeting with Jelle and Simon on 22 May where we went through the previous animatic and improved lots of scenes here is the new animatic. I think it has become tighter qua timing and fun factor...

In terms of the storyline Jelle suggested to make the monster bored after destroying yet another alien metropolis and is excited to hear the music coming from the disco, a kind of curiosity kills the cat/monster so to speak....and we added a swinging intro animation of the cocktail being prepared with the ice cubes forming the title. This is all in a sketch form as you can see but the animatic gives a good feeling of the flow and scene set up.

To do:
-Simon is going to work on the Space Monster ch design and the disco people
-Cesare is working on the loser ch design and animation
-Jelle is working on the bgs and disco interior (maybe Menno can come in as production gets on the way?)

I think is probably handy if I make a digital storyboard from the animatic so that we can plan and divide the rest of the work. Will post it asap. Please let me all know what you think as comments are always welcome....

Loser saves the day (Animatic)

This is an animatic I made in Flash. As it is quiet advanced we should work on it to animate it asap.

It's night: a giant monster comes to wreck havoc in a futuristic city. In its destructive path he suddenly hears the thumping beat of a technodisco and goes to check it out. While he's peeping through the opening we see a guy sitting at the bar, clearly unhappy and drunk and intending to get really smashed. Another partygoer next to him throws some cigarette ashes in his drink. He gags and spits it out of the window, which lands right in the eye of the monster. Blinded by the spitting guy, he turns around and runs away in pain into the distance. The final scene we see the only building standing is the disco amongst the ruins, nobody has noticed anything weird going on inside, not even our involuntary hero, that saved the day, despite being a loser. He just belches and continues to drink as the disco beat goes on ....

Comments on the timing of the animation are welcome, with Jelle and Menno we decided we're going to go ahead and start develop this animation.

Simon and Niels, it would be great if you made some concept sketches for the chs, they are all weird creatures. Me and Menno can make some bg sketches, and together with Jelle we think about how it can all be animated.

I hope you like it and I wait for feedback and ???

ps: yes, there's no sound, that's why I made a synopsis above...
