During scene 3, we are introduced to the Young Animator who emerges from the door, however during the animatic he just sort of teleports from the doorway into the center of the room. I didn't think much of it until I actually started to animate it and it just seemed to not fit, so to fix this issue I had to animate the Young Animator entering the room somehow, to do this I thought about having him actively swoop into the center of the frame, as you can see in the test below:
This to me seemed really unnecessary, nor did it look right to me. What I really needed was a reference, however because of timing I don't have that at my disposal right now, so I decided to do a simple walk cycle into the center of the frame, then zoom into the Young Animator and then proceed with the original narrative, this is what I ended up with:
As you can see it flows much nicer, however it would have been nice to actually animate the Young Animator walking, however because of time restraints I will complete any unfinished animation once the video is fully fleshed out. I might have to do something similar with shot 6 when the animator is looking directly at Max, I had an idea where I just show his eyes looking at Max, then zoom out and proceed with the original narrative, however I will see what I do with that in due time, as this is the next thing I need to animate.
