Yo!

I've been making progress on Caffeinated Chaos lately, and I'd like to show this animatic I have for a section of a fight scene. I've no problems with spoiling anybody, ha ha!

A powered-up, caffeinated, Aaron the cat fends off Flex, a guy made out of pure energy drink, to get back he and his friend's stolen bag of junk food.

For inspiration I've been looking at a lot of work done by one of my favorite action animator, Naotoshi Shida.

His stuff is incredible. It has the intensity of a Saturn V rocket launch.

Actually, this animatic came about because of a hitch with my production. I was able to finish the animation for Act 1, all the way up to ink and paint! Now faced with Act 2... I just wasn't really feeling it with the boards I had in place. Already I do kinda feel like I'm tiptoeing the line between cringe and not-cringe with this animation. Otherwise I really was at the point where, if I wanted to make any changes to the storyboards, I had to do it now, or otherwise begin animating.

On a side note, I did end up repeating myself. Caffeinated Chaos has an unfinished version dating back to 2019, which I ended up scrapping because I lacked the skill/experience. Funny enough I had most of it storyboarded, except for that fight scene. My video editing timeline just had blank space in between that and the ending.

In that prototype, I dug up this funny rough of Aaron's friend Todd having this reaction shot upon seeing his friend's power-up, going "What the fuck?"

After drawing these characters for so long I think I've refined the style of them. But damn I need to make room for bullshit like that expression. I'd like to go more into that prototype sometime, perhaps a retrospective forum post is in order when I get this episode finished.

I do like how this current iteration of the fight is coming along. It's fast-paced and it's looking to be short. I allotted myself around 45 seconds to do the fight and wrap it up, then act 3 begins and takes the whole thing home. The daunting thing about this fight, act 2, is that the animation it warrants should be a cut above. As my first big take on an action sequence, I'll give you guys my word that I'm gonna give it my best shot!

All in all I'm on track to having this finished during the summer because after that... the production stage of my senior thesis will go into full force.

More on that another night, lol. I'm sleepy.
