Applied Animation: Competition - Storyboard

Applied Animation - Competition Brief

Developing a Storyboard

• This week:
• Using drafts of a storyboard and the script written by Laura, I produced a short, digital storyboard
• What went well:
• The storyboard follows the script well and demonstrates the narrative in a simple and readable manner.
• I included camera movements, but also tried to keep within a 10-15 second time window for each scene, which was difficult! Thankfully, cutting out some unwanted shots and adjusting some of the ideas in the draft stages made it easier to produce a digital storyboard
• Would could be better:
• As it is short, some of the scenes could be fleshed out a little bit, showing more detail about what will be happening in each shot. However, I thought this would be more useful in an animatic.
• To make sure the perspective is kept accurate, we may have to use Maya to render some scenes to draw over the top of, to save some time.
• For the rest of this week and next week I will be working on character concepts and environment concepts to help flesh out the visuals of our ideas, whilst still referring to the Audible Brief
