Seeing it all together!

Hey guys, I just put some of the animation in the animatic to see how these shots look next to the film. Some of the pacing were a bit off. They looked OK on their own but with the other scenes next to them some parts need to be held longer or cut down. Nothing wrong with the action though.
For shot 4, the master starts to move too early. The audience would have just about taken in what the boy is doing in the previous scene and they need a little rest before the master makes his moves. So for the start of this scene just hold him a bit longer before making the big movements.
Same can be applied to the end of shot 40. Thats when the boy reacts to the falling girl. We dont have enough time to register the final facial expression and the scene cuts. These issues came up because the actual animation moves more than I imagined it. So for this we can hold the end frame just a bit longer again.
However the end of shot 12, where the girl brushes the mop off her head, can have the end shortened. The brushing off motion looks slow compared to the scenes that follows it.
I'll talk to you in more details about it tomorrow!
