Alexis Fajardo has posted an animatic featuring Hama the Pig from his comic, Kid Beowulf. Check it out. To watch it you will need the Quick Time plug-in. (not sure. if you have iTunes you have Quick Time all ready)

I helped Lex create the animatic as well as the Trailer for his comic book. For the Hama piece, Lex drew key drawings in which he scanned and colored in Photoshop. I then used Adobe After Effects to time out the visuals to the soundtrack. It was done in one day. This technique is used to pre-visulize animation before it is produced. Most of the drawings were all the same size and I used the 3D camera to move around for different shots.
It’s amazing what you can do with a few images and some sound. Sorta like the TV show Reading Rainbow!
An intersted parties should email me. Great way to promote your work for DVD, Web, and TV.
