With many years of experience in sequential art I feel he is a good reference for how to show movement and emotion in the animatic that I am drawing. He is very versed in action, which could be very beneficial in my story depending on what direction my animatic will go. Since in Hansel and Gretel There is a little action in Gretel pushing the witch into the oven, it could be good to source ways to show motion and movement with limited movement.

Similarly the inclusion of large amounts of text could be helpful. Not in terms of showing speech but perhaps sound effects that could be backed up with sound design. Much like the cheesy 90 super hero cartoons.
