The Mystical Anticut

Well scene six is as finished as it's going to get right now.

I spent more time today further refining parts of the script in order to get information across to the audience in a less complicated manner. But a weird phenomena keeps occurring with my movie. The more I go about trimming any unnecessary segments of the project away, the longer the movie gets. How does this even work?

Scenes one to six of the animatic ran to approximately 32 minutes, whereas scenes one to six of the sketch draft run to around 31 minutes. And those scenes have two vital segments missing from them - things I was going to go back and animate later! Very perplexing.

I'm not worried, though. There's a stigma about long movies, especially animated ones, but I figure if people are entertained by what they're watching, they won't notice the duration they're watching for.
