Haha yeah, this took a while.
But, doing this step is absolutely worth it because now it's completely planned out. I can just draw it without thinking what scenes I'm going to include.314Please respect copyright.PENANA196aMod6JU
I didn't think I'd have time to include the very beginning of the story, but I threw the sketch together into a video to see how the timing would work and what do you know, I have about 8-9 seconds I need to fill right at the beginning.314Please respect copyright.PENANAqikYbj1Lvm
The one thing I'm worried about is how busy it is, animatics usually have fewer frames and just hold them for longer, at least the ones I've seen. Problem is, I'm having to summarize an entire book here, so unless I want to cut out a bunch of key moments, there's not much I can do.
Now I'm already thinking about sequels though, and I've only outlined about 20 frames. RIP me. But if this animatic turns out, you bet I'm going to cover the other two books in the series. Lately I've been looking for songs that would fit and I've found a couple, but does anyone have any songs that make you think of fantasy stories? I'd love some ideas!

Oh, and the demo video I threw together? It's unlisted but if you wanna watch and maybe leave feedback that would be cool! Because once I do the outlines I'm not changing anything, it's going to take enough time as it is XD
