Al + Jim in "HOOP-A-JOOP" - A Silent Rough Animatic For A Short Film
Added 2018-01-28 23:56:11 +0000 UTCHere's a short film project I've been developing between my freelance work! I'm very excited to share this, I've been hinting at it for a while, and meant to show you all the storyboards first, but... oh well! This is the animatic, which is the stage after storyboards that allows you to time out how the cartoon will look when fully animated.
I've been talking to a composer about planning out a score for this and he's done some demo tracks already but we haven't tried anything timed out to this yet. We might hold off on that until this is finally animated. I'm planning to animate this mostly by myself at the moment, although it is going to have to remain a free time project for now. (I just got assigned a new Smashbits project that should be fun!)
This short film will be great for doubling as a pilot to my TV series idea, Hoop-a-Joop, which you can read about on my art blog:

I won't get my hopes up that this will sell as a pilot, but this cartoon has really been a long time in the making. This aquarium story has been rethought several times since I was 12 years old in seventh grade (I am currently in my 20s). Sometime I'll probably share some really old drafts of it, since I've posted another Hoop pilot years ago... For now, here is last year's draft of the short film you see before you... but in storyboard form!
