Capstone Project: Animatic Thoughts
I'm thinking on what I want to change based on the last feedback I got on the newly added scenes in the animatic. I really like the final flasbacks being intercut with him remembering the night she died, I do have a version where after he smokes the cigarette we see all three of those flashbacks in succession, but I'm just not a huge fan of it.
The "Val" London is seeing throughout the entire film is a manifestation of his guilt. It's not a literal ghost manifesting in front of him and making him teleport around, he's "drowning" in the guilt he feels for surviving and she's the voice he gives to that. Because of this I'm thinking of adding a set of lines, maybe reworking some others, in the scene on the stage.
London catching his breath and asking Val "What is this?!" and her responding with "How should I know, this is YOUR mind." Or something along those lines to make it more clear? I'll also be adding different or more tonally clear transitions. I was thinking of having the flashbacks sound kinda warped and far away, and doing something visual for that too?
Either way, I'm happy with how things are coming along! I'll keep playing with it this week.
