Fantastic Voyage: Voice Over Script

Performed in my final animation by Jim Johnson, this is the script for the narration:

· I’m going to take you through the life cycle of a moss.
· Firstly, a moss spore germinates to form a protonema.
· The protonema then grows a male or female gametophyte, depending on its sex cells.
· The antheridium develops on the male gametophyte and sperm are produced in the antheridium.
· The sperm are released with the help of moisture so they can swim over to the egg in the female archegonium.
· This is where a zygote is formed.
· The zygote divides by mitosis to form a sporophyte in the form of a stalk and capsule.
· New spores are produced by meiosis in the capsule and when it has ripened, the tip detaches to expose the spores.
· Moisture and wind help to release and disperse the spores away from the capsule.
· They are carried through the air and once they find a suitable ground, they can re-germinate and the cycle can continue.

Fantastic Voyage: First Scene Render Test - with Voiceover

Here's a test render I have, along with music and professional voice over! As it stands, there are still changes I want to make (more vibrant, less reflective, and get some of my own mark making on those surfaces if I can). But anyway, work in progress!

Fantastic Voyage: Maya Pre-Viz

Music Only Music and Narration This is what I have so far. Quite pleased with it but not sure about the camera movement in act three (where the new spores are released), maybe it is too frantic? And obviously if I am going to be having a voiceover, it will not be me (This is just an example for what it might be like). Feedback welcome :)

Fantastic Voyage: Animatic With Example Voiceover

I've kept the same animatic from 'The Pitch' on Monday, but added a short informative voice-over (which was advised) with the music lowered so you the audience can hear both parts. This will not be the final voice-over as it is my own voice and is just to show my idea of the narration as well as having the music to test how it works.
