The Waiter Is Hot (working title) WIP01

Added 2019-08-16 04:26:47 +0000 UTC

Hello Steel Hard Patrons!

My next animation is quite different from the previous projects I have done. For one thing, this is the first animation project with multiple scenes. Because I anticipate so many drawings to be made, I had to streamline the style, and economize where I can. So this is also the first animation without cel-shading. It is also going to be quite funny (or sexy if you love foodplay!) But ultimately, my aim is to have more multi-scene sequences, especially in preparation for my next project, Star Love Zero Gravity.

A waiter shoots his special sauce on the customers' pizza, at their request.

You can see in the above image how roughly I storyboard things. The drawings are quite small, and to the point. I made sure I threw away unnecessary panels, as that would only create more work for me in animation. You can download the image below.

Also included below is the script that I send to my voice actors. I made sure to get the dialogue done sooner, since a lot of the timing for my animation will depend on the voice acting.

I also made a rough animatic comprising of the red panels on a timeline. What you will also see are my rough correctional notes and animation thumbnails, which help me tighten up the poses, composition, and storytelling. I still have a few more exploratory drawings to do, but the next step really for me is to make the real drawings in rough form.

Wow, lots to look at. I hope you guys enjoy these works in progress. When I look back at older WIP's myself, it's kind of fascinating seeing how my ideas come to life. Look out for the next WIP soon!

Thank you all so much again :)
