This version of the animatic has new animation, credits with titles attached, a new version of the song, colour scripts, more storyboards and previs, and a few tweaks to the edit.

Well what a month! We've been building up steam with the animation and I've been busy setting up shots for lots of new animators. We're actually at 25 active animators assigned to shots right now, but I've been trying to grow the team slowly in order to avoid over extending myself and neglecting anyone that's actually working on a task.

It's really exciting to see the project progressing so well, thanks for the support everyone!

That breasts shot was very disturbing. I'd recommend against it.

Here's a few interesting work in progress shots:

Thanks, yes, we're already on there.

Our latest animatic:
It's exciting to see so many shots going into animation, the challenge now is to push all those shots to the highest level we can reach.

I'd like to thank Larissa Ness for the Music. Please let me know what your thoughts are and give me your feedback and don't forget to leave a review in iTunes to show your support. Enjoy the Podcast.

Just a quick update. We're in pretty good shape for animation with over 20% in the can.

We're on the lookout for strong animators to join the team. Check out the Animator's Handbook for a guide to what you need, and come prepared with some idea of what types of shots you'd like.

Shane Davis has recently started as a Production Coordinator. He'll be helping me to sort through the progress of all the tasks and keeping everything moving forward.

If you're interested in doing any shader or rigging work please get in touch as we've got a couple of assets to finish off and any help would be greatly appreciated. We have some colour script images done, as you can see by the edit, but if anyone else would like to lend a hand and do some I'd really love to get some more done to flesh out the timeline.

I'd just like to say the team is doing amazing things and it's incredible to see it coming together like this. I think we're well on track for completing the teaser trailer animation in the next few months and the rest of the film by early 2011, if not sooner.

Thanks. We keep all our videos here, we've got over 600 these days and they show all kinds of progress and critiques:

All videos Flipbook related, which is most often an animation critique can be found here:

There will be many more where that came from as we progress.

This is the films 50th Animatic update... wow that's a lot of updates! Aside from the usual animation updates it also includes some changes to the edit and some extra scenes to improve the story. It's always regrettable when you have to make big changes whilst in animation production but it happens all the time and it's better to address story issues as soon as solutions arise.

We're now 23% through the animation process!
