Animatic assessment-2007 and how it relates to my project

This was my animatic for my Preproduction assessment 2007.

What's this doing here, you ask?

Well, I did ok on this assessment, and basically I wanted to highlight my attempt to create a mood/feeling within the panels- thou it's just scribble, I attempted to covey light/shade. I find the use of light/shade to be appealing as a composition tool and a chracter developing tool.

Same thing I tried with the Cult Fiction Comic pages below- The shading (hopefully) evokes a particular mood within the panel (and the surrounding panel composition too), to give something interesting for the eye to look at (and for the eye to follow along), and bring things forward and backwards in the compositional frame.

...but once again, let me stress the point I'm not an expert , I'm only learning and experimenting to find something I'm happy with. Sometimes the lighting changes slightly (in both the animatic and comic), but even Klaus Janson of Marvel and DC comic fame says something like it's sometimes better to do something that is asthetically appealling over something that may be correct but looks dull on the page in terms of it's relation to the other panels (something like that). Basically, I thought it'd look better :P

More concept art for project to come, but first I have to convince my lecturers tomorrow that I really want to do this and that it's worth doing.

Fingers Crossed.
