After some problems with Storyboard Pro making images too large and then making them disappear when the file was next opened, and then exporting things a lot quicker than they seemed when played in the program, I finally got my updated animatic finished. It's a lot better than my initial one - here, the characters have more motive (so Biscuit doesn’t seem to just come completely out of nowhere), and I attempted to vary the pace a little more.
However, while I’m happy with the first and last sections, I feel it still kind of falls flat in the middle. When Tlun first arrives now, it's frantic for a moment, almost tense - and then that tenseness just vanishes and it gets a bit slow up until he tries to attack Zombie at the end. I’m probably going to completely redo the middle section - from the part where Zombie scrabbles up the side of the hut to Tlun stepping in what is presumably Zombie’s poo - so that it works better with the other sections, and helps to build up to the ending more.
There’s a few seconds of nothing at the start because of problems with iMovie, but the animatic itself should be fine. The sound effects and things are still placeholders, and I still need to find a suitable soundtrack, so that it's less empty.
