Scriptamajigger

To all of those interested in making their own movies, series, whatever. NEVER believe your work is done with the script once you hit production. To believe this is foolish. There will always be something that strikes you as a little off once you start putting visuals to words.

This can't be helped, and its not because you're a bad writer or planner. Some things just aren't picked up on until you start actually animating them, or you show them to a test audience. It happens with the big guys like PIXAR and Dreamworks, it happens with us.

That being said, I've been making another set of revisions to scenes in Outcast Hero as of late. One was something I picked up while working on scene 5, and the rest is stuff pointed out by my sister after showing her the movie's animatic. Granted, this animatic is pretty outdated now, but she managed to pick out several still-existing events in scene 6 and 8 that could be streamlined, and asked a question which badly needed answering in-story. The movie has fared better for it.
