Lord of the Rings: The Animated Musical | Animatic for Book I, Chapter 2

I have completed the second animatic in just under a year, significantly faster than Chapter 1 and yet still at a fairly slow pace. I hope to increase efficiency for the next installment. Highlights from the past year included extensive wardrobe design, rousing musical numbers, and folklore about dragons and volcanoes. My essays have become a more manageable length as I practice being concise, while my animation is more fluid. I hope you the latest installment. I will take next week off and be back with an overview of “Chapter 3: Three Is Company” on November 1.

Watch the playlist below or on YouTube. The total length is about 70 minutes. You will be able to see my animation skills improve over the course of the year. Enjoy!
