Sir was the first interviewee we approached, as his approval meant that we were on the right track and okay to continue onto the next stage.
I was a little concerned that we would be criticised for lack of clarity in pictures. Although Phoebe's drawings were very good, some of the shots she had to illustrate were complex, requiring a fair amount of detail and we were rushed for time. However, Sir was very nice and encouraging, saying that "We had a good layout and nice sequence of shots for an entertaining music video". He added that "Our shot choices and narrative were strong, the drawing legible and the animatic easy to understand. The syncing to the song was on-the-beat.”
We asked a few of our collective
friends to feedback
on our animatic
as well, and the response was much the same. All of them liked the idea of the
soldier returning home, the close-ups of the artist singing and the cute, couple
feel the planned footage featured. There was a concern that they wouldn't be
able to distinguish each of the two lovers from each other but we quickly
tackled that worry by saying that not only would we be featuring a number of
close-ups of both actors’ faces, but there would be an effect discerning the
clips from the other.
