It has come to my attention that the shuriken scene really isn't needed, and kinda degrades my animated short. I've thought about it for about a week, and finally, I've decided to cut it entirely. The reason it isn't needed is because it doesn't really add anything new, but rather, it kinda just contributes mediocrity. On my first storyboard, I had 6 different scenes. The fire walk scene was a water run scene, the shuriken scene had 2 different ninja kids and an awkward camera angle, and I mixed the fifth scene with the final scene. I guess the only reason I had that one shuriken scene in there was to fill the time slot because I thought it was supposed to be a minute long. Obviously that isn't the case, rather. The shorter the animation, the better. Also, with this scene cut, I'll be able to focus on perfecting the animation for each scene, rather than rushing to get everything done in time. Quality > quantity. So, I'll need to adjust my schedule.
Another thing: I have finalized voices now. I'm still the voice of Yamato Sensei, and I got Ian to voice the disclaimer. Right now, I'm getting the timing and mouth positions down for the lipsync. I'll post new videos of my demo reel once I get all the new voices planted into each scene. Also need to do some fixing up with my blocking for Scene 1 and 2.
