Rough drafts of shot 8

Here are the first blue pencil tests I did for shot 8. I tried to focus mainly on getting the shot to look right without worrying about keyframes, but the first draft was really lackluster as I was being way too precious with it.

Prior to getting the second one done, I had a lengthy discussion with Neil about what to do with the animation and how I should be tackling the BPT. He also worked into some of the earlier bits of animation to visually demonstrate how I should be tackling it. Thanks to his advice, I got a pretty solid idea about how to rough out each shot efficiently and give myself a mass of work that I could easily polish later on in the year.
