Animatic Ver.1

Here's the initial animatic, put together by Colin. This is our first version, so no sound of yet. Unfortunately, Royal Republic couldn't let us use Tommy Gun, so new music is being put together. The advantage this does give us though is that we can make the animation shorter than the approx 3/4 minutes of the song, so this version is almost half the time. Some of Colin's friends from back home have offered to help out recording music for us, and the animatic has been sent along to them along with some details - so hopefully we will have a soundtrack some time soon to work with and put together our final animatic using their track and polished up images. As part of the brief, we need to both submit 5 seconds of rough animation for our final pitch, so the combined 10 secs will also be added when completed. We decided Bart's punch was too fast - the original version we had was fine, but I suggested speeding it up a bit to see, just in case. Unfortunately, the software didn't want to play ball after that to put it back, but this is one of the things we'll adjust/fix for the next one.
