Title Sequence Animatic + Mood Board

Here's the title sequence animatic that I recently completed for James' class. It builds on the concept that was explored earlier in a mood board.

The concept is basically that a cicada is coming to the ground after burrowing for its growth period and the title sequence tracks up the burrow to reveal the cicada and the house from the film. Titles are overlaid with childish illustrations introducing the actors and giving some hints about the story. I've kept the title sequence quite slow to help establish the tone of the piece.

- kudos to Pete G for the sound fx!
