Following the feedback yesterday, I decided to continue designing the machines for my film. As the polymerisation and hydrocarbons section is now merged into one, I thought it would be best to combine the two designs into one.
I also started considering the order of the machines for better flow; I will make two new versions of my animatic. One will have the original ordering with improved (slower) pacing for readability, and a second one with the new ordering outlined in the second drawing. Hopefully, addressing plastic as a problem before explaining where it comes from and then moving onto potential 'what can be done about it' scenarios involving the recycling game from the claw machine will be less jarring.
This means that, should the second ordering be better (and provided that it doesn't make the run time too long), I will finalise the design for the newer fourth machine and remove the recycling game from the claw machine so it can be used for the fourth machine.
I also started looking at a brief "what are plastics" page for context on the plastics machine if it is going to become the first machine played in the film.
