Animation Cometh

I completed the 3 month animation course at the end of last year, I loved learning to animate but since then really haven’t done any, the problem is (as always) money and time, both of which animation consumes vast amounts.
The animator in me is soon to be released again though.
a month or so ago I was fortunate enough to see Something of the Night perform a live unplugged gig in Cafe Kino, I was blown away by their music, one track in particular “barriers divide” which deals with the distance and fragility of a human connections on the underground network struck at my heart strings.
I was overcome with the need to animate a music video for this song and so has begun the long process for production, Sennen and Ben have been busy recording a version of the song they are happy with to use and I’ve been to London taking photos of various public transport systems. Before I can begin animating I will need to produce a animatique which is sort of like animation plan just using sketches set in the correct order, also known as a animated storyboard.
Here is a clip of part of the song
