Hey guys it's been a while since I posted (an entire summer!) but here is an updated animatic. It is 5 1/2 minutes but I'm still figuring out which scenes to cut and add in.
So here are the updates. If you notice, in the beginning I cut some scenes up when he's trying to look for food in the spaceship. There are fewer boxes he's looking through and I added the squeeze bottle gag in. I'm trying to come up with something funnier though. Or is it funny enough??
When the astronaut exits the spaceship, some additional scenes include a wrist monitor indicates that the air is breathable and him kicking a rock. The most major change was the astronaut's first encounter with the alien. I thought these changes would further establish a better relationship between the two. A little more dramatic and fast paced compared to the previous version.
I also changed up the ending somewhat and made the little alien appear more aggressive than he initially was. He now has a large row of chompers, indicating that he is indeed a carnivore. Matt suggested the alien make a noise telling the astronaut that he's hungry and then take a huge bite out of the chicken piece. The astronaut quickly realizes that the alien is more threatening than he seems to be and this is further established by other aliens coming to check out the food.
I forgot to add a scene in where all the aliens display their sharp teeth, tongues hanging out, gazing at the astronaut. I will add a scene in where the little alien tries taking bites out of the meat, but bites the astronaut's hand instead for more humor.
