Rush One

Ta-Dah!!! Here it is! My complete rush of scene 1 of Rime of the Ancient Mariner - the animation. Obviously, it looks a little blank here, as it has no background or soundtrack, however, I am happy with the quality of the movement and am excited to superimpose the background and thus improve the quality.

This scene is a LOT longer than originally planned - a whole 37 seconds longer! - however, I feel it is neccesary to have a longer introduction, as it really sets up the rest of the story! The originally planned 6 second intro just wouldn't have sufficed!

When you compare this rush to the first one, I hope you will agree that the quality of the animation has really improved!

First (not so good) Rush!

This is the first rush I have created... it is not great! I have re-filmed the scene, so I do hope that it looks a lot better now than it was! Furthermore, this one is shorter than the new introduction - I feel that it is TOO short - a longer introduction really adds to the feel of the piece and really sets up the rest of the story much better than a quick, rushed intro!
