SHORT FILM DESCRIPTION
The story revolves around a dog and a cat, who have been great friends since childhood. Unfortunately, one day the cat dies while they both were playing on the streets. The dog remembers his friend by a pendant that was given to him by the cat. One day he was sitting beside his friend's graveyard. The pendant shines and starts moving. The dog chases it badly and he is about to find out the miracle that lies ahead! 🐶🐱
A PAGE FROM THE STORYBOARD
It was 8 pages long storyboard.
Also, the original story was extremely lengthy - approx. 5-6 minutes long.
ANIMATICS
And here is the animated storyboard (aka Animatics) of the improvised story. And it was 2:30 minutes long!
I realised that my 'final' story was nothing but the 'first draft'. One of my professors guided me through.
You have to keep removing the junk.

~ I'm not good at hand drawings..
~ But I can improve!
~ Understood the complexities of frame-by-frame animation..
~ It needs a repeated and arduous effort to draw the character(s) from different angles.
~ I should invest in a good PC, it'll reduce the render time for my future projects.
