Animatic

This is the most recent version of my animatic. It still feels a bit long, and the dialogue is rough and not finalized.

Visual Inspiration

This is an image from Cartoon Modern that I particularly enjoy. I think I had the idea to have my sets as fabric swatches before I saw this image, but it just helped assure that it might actually work.
