Modelling and Animation - Color and Animatic

As you might have noticed from the storyboard album, I began experimenting with color a little bit.  Color is going to be an important part of the story, I know, but I also really wanted to draw with the Wacom Cintiq that they have in the lab, here.  It's really fun!

So, I went to this website, colorschemedesigner.com and I made some mood boards for the characters and the setting.  This is a really cool system, and it spells out the RGB data for each color when you hover over it, so you can plug them right into Photoshop or wherever you want to take it.  I will link them below:

Background

Characters:

Camel

Rider

Props:

Bags in the pile

I still need two more props to meet the minimum requirements.  I think the ladder could definitely count as one, and I was also thinking that there could be a complete tea set at the top of the pile, instead of just the single teacup.  I'm open to suggestions!

This weekend, I also turned the storyboards into an animatic movie!  I needed to do this to judge my timing, and I'm pretty pleased with the pace!  I know I have  lot of work ahead of me with the modelling and lighting and everything else, but it's a comedic movie, and comedy is nothing without timing, so it is integral to work that out first!  Without further ado...
