Burnice - WIP 2

Added 2025-09-30 21:57:49 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone, here is the second WIP post for the Burnice animation!

I've gotten started on the rough animation and have finished the portion for the intro scene. I expanded it from the storyboard into six cuts to better sync up with the dialogue that I came up with.

I'm trying to improve upon a few things I wasn't satisfied with in the Ellen Joe animation, and one of the main things for me was the intro. My two main issues with it are that it was a little short to really set up the scene (which wasn't that big of a deal assuming you're familiar with the trailer) and also that some of the movements felt a bit stiff.

Since I need to make the intro scene a bit longer this time around to properly set the scene, I made an effort to try and improve on my character acting animation and make them a bit more expressive. I found that animating the lip flaps for the dialogue really helped me with drawing matching expressions and such, though I suspect I'll have to tweak the timings a bunch once I get it dubbed. I don't really mind though, since I think having a more expressive rough animations will help the VAs as well with understanding the tone I'm trying to go for, and I won't have to rely as much on my amateur vocal direction XD

I'll aim to get the next page done in the next week or two, so please look forward to it! Thanks for the support!
