As usual, I'm getting a little ahead of myself and testing out my animatic workflow before I've really got a story nailed down. This small test was done with Photoshop and Apple Motion. Looks like I'll ... http://mkingmovies.com/blog/2008/01/19/animatic-test/ Made a quick study of a frame from Serenity to practice painting. Perspective is off and the character isn't a good likeness. But it turned out decent enough, I think. http://mkingmovies.com/blog/2007/11/16/serenity-color-sketch/ Read this article from Variety about the increasing pressure VFX studios and artists face as schedules and budgets shrink while expectations rise. http://mkingmovies.com/blog/2007/05/25/get-out-while-you-can/
