The House that Claire Built - Animatic

One of the ideas that was explored with the Claire House animation was to have a nautical theme. The previous post explains all about this, but below is a very basic recording of the audio with some elements storyboarded out as an animatic. I didn't continue any further with this idea as it was clear it was the wrong direction to be heading in. Nevertheless the experience of creating an basic animatic was quite useful, and I can imagine it is a more useful way of demonstrating ideas/timings to collaborators or clients in the future. 
Sometimes I think a detailed storyboard and a conversation can be enough though as animatics can take precious time away from drawing development when you're working solo.
