Creating the very first Scene

In the very first scene, the orcs have stodged back from battle, dirty and tired. Only to find a huge bill waiting for them. This is the first scene to really make an impression so its got to be striking. The doors burst open to reveal some very angry and tired orcs.

Obviously starting off with a storyboard we have to get the composition right.

Animating a Door opening forcfully is a very difficult task without a guide. So I made a 3D mockup in 3D and tried to line up with the perspective.

It was very challenging but in the end I ended up with this which im using as a frame of reference to animate over the top to save on figuring out the perspective. The reason they are different colours is so that its more clear which door is which

And here we have the plate on top of the already existing sketchy animation. To properly match it up with the background I used a warp tool to fix the points so it match the door in the background. Only problem is that when the red door falls it gets horibbly distorted. This can be easily fixed when comming to the final frames.
