Remember when Keaton layed out a whole game of bones plan for THLMR ep6?

Our fellow patron Archeota is helping me out by applying his in service field knowledge to some Fishspeaker troopers action in my GEOD animation.

I mostly think in picturesque shots and I had a very vague idea on how to show the Ixian Embassy attack. However I do like toying with practical rea-khm-listic on-screen action. And actually having a plan as to what everybody is supposed to be doing allows me to just focus on what to get in the shot instead of 'let's just make a few sequences of people running in the front of the camera'.

This of course will be frame-heavy but I wanted to do a crowd-like multiple actors action sequence with natural animations for some time now! Kind of a one-shot but with no tracking camera, it just turns back and forth between two sides of the plaza.

Once again trying to define key frames in the storyboard panels already (minus Face Dancers don't have their proper outfits on here yet). I wonder if having anatomy of key poses will speed up finding in-between poses when I sketch the actual animation...

This is not the opening but it follows soon after while in the book this is the second half and I was wondering if anybody watching the cartoon gonna think 'a sci-fi action book!' and then read it and discover a theater play of philosophical ramblings (I am including that too of course but oh boy is there just not enough space to capture all that in my opera format).

It's a weird love story so there is gonna be that...
