Hey everyone...sorry that it's been FOREVER since I've posted something...I'm still polishing up my final piece from last class ("My Bologna")...but I'm now in class 5 and we have started our short film...here's an animatic from the first 1/3 of it. Kinda vague, but there will be more to come...Enjoy!
