This animatic is a combination of animated tests and live action tests. At this point we were a little behind but eager to see how the film would play out. Some scenes we changed or added, as visual aids to suggest what the story was about. As we had been going through the scenes we realised it was important to use the props and scenery to suggest the main storyline as there is no dialogue.
Old nuts and bolts and bits of pipe were great for the industrial effects of the lab. Blueprints, maps and pictures of yeti sightings on the walls helped to suggest the type of research the scientists were working on!
Using the reference videos, we could time the actions. This is how we worked out the timing for the scenes (in seconds). Aimed to work at 24fps, capturing every 3 frames (more or less if needed, depending upon how quick or slow the action is).
Animatic was used to determine light effects and camera angles. Some of these we had to change as we went along. For example, the scene where we first see the scientist working, we had a blue spotlight from the fromt of the set. However, when it came to filming, for this particuar scene we used the MILO motion control camera, so we needed the space in front of the set to give the camera room to move around the set.
Used the dopesheets to predict the actions and scene duration. As we didn't have any dialogue to lip sync, this aspect of the dopesheets was not needed. the only part were it could be important would be the scene with the radio and the chipping noise of the ice block.
