Teaser Trailer Animatic

Nuke Workshop Task: Animatic

22nd January 2017

To produce our teaser trailer, we must plan it out first. To do this we are required to produce an animatic; a rough visual representation of what it will look like before devoting full time and effort into production.

I started with rough sketches, thumbnails on what the shots may look like these were drawn on Photoshop; imported into premiere to create the video. However my initial animatic was lost as it did not save correctly, along with the collected video files and assets I would use for the final teaser.

In this time, this allowed me to reflect upon the lost edition, and plan the new version. Thinking about shot construction and how effects can be applied to the shots effectively. 

This lead to the second version of my animatic, this time using the assets collected previously as reference, and considering the affects which will be applied. Overall I believe this has led to create an effective teaser trailer.

In addition, I had created an initial style for the title “Journey to the centre of the Earth” and the other text which would appear in the trailer. Considering an appropriate style for the theme of the teaser. In addition to created assets I collected both video and audio assets to be a part of the teaser including music. I had to consider effective music which would be appropriate for this teaser trailer; I searched for an exciting piece with percussion to create an atmosphere of adventure.

From this I have now planned the teaser trailer, and I believe it is effective. I will now move onto the production phase to apply the necessary effects in Nuke.
