Week 5

I heard back from Joe early in the week, he loved the test animation of the bag of Doritos running and overall he was happy with how the animatic was coming together. Again there were a few minor adjustments to be made as far as animating the bland chips attempting to break the Doritos line of defence after the ball had been passed back. But overall he was happy for me to begin animating.

I began by animating the first shot of the commercial, where the camera is looking down as the teams take their positions. I emailed this to Joe to get an idea of whether I was working in a style he had envisioned. I did not want to get too far into animating only to have it scrapped. I was right to start simple, Joe was happy with the style, however he decided that this particular shot slowed the pacing down too much and asked that it be removed.



After seeing this first shot animated Joe asked that I skip straight into the action. So the animatic was re-worked and sent through once more. I was given the go ahead a few days later.
