Ranga's Meat Shop: Second Animatic

In this version of the animatic, I worked more with the timing. Although looking at it many more times, I realize the ending is still too fast and needs to be fixed. At this point I have tested both versions of my story with my audience and have received the following feedback:

The visual style of the black and white flashback reads better as it is bigger and the audience is able to tell the difference between the younger version of the dad in the earlier version. The smiley face was more appealing to the younger audience. The story definitely does strike a conversation as the parents were explaining the story with their kids and discussing the moral with them. When children were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up and parents were asked what they expected of them, I noticed the attitudes of normally controlling parents move towards the aspect of "They can do whatever they want if they are able to do it." This made me hopeful. :)

This version of the animatic had to be revised as there were several key moments that had be slowed down in order to get the message accross. Therefore timing had to be fixed. Another critique that I recieved for this version was that I needed to keep the same visual language for the thought sequence-- I will have to choose between the thought bubble and the black and white flash back styles.
