Final, Final Storyboard

New and improved! With new vector work and no artboard failures this time!

Final Storyboard

Stuff on the artboard again?! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Finalized Storyboard

So here's my finalized storyboard. Some junk seemed to have carried over from the artboard when I converted to .jpg, but the whole thing is there.

Three Storyboard Spread

Here are my three storyboards. I'm glad we did this exercise with distinctly different approaches. I was pretty set in my original aesthetic, but now I may take a new route completely.

Pages and pages and pages of notes!

So I've got here my notes for the Flash video in my lovely chicken scratch.























































And I also made a .jpg of what I would like the video to kind of look like:















So I have several kinks to work out, but I'm happy with the path I'm on.

Agitate, Fade, & Multiply

Stop Motion Reflection

Well the stop motion project was much more time-consuming, but ultimately more rewarding than I expected.

I do wish I did a couple of things differently though. One would be to implement more consistency while taking pictures. In some scenes I was too meticulous, taking 30 pictures for two steps, while others didn't shoot quite enough frames at all. This resulted in choppy speed. I had to pull a lot of frames out for the movie to flow smoothly. I also wish I edited down more. I feel like some scenes, particularly the jail scene, was too long. There were a couple lighting issues I could have re-shot with more time, but I should have planned for that. I guess the last thing I wish I did was to plan my transitions more thoroughly during the storyboarding process. It could have resulted in much more creative work.

Overall, I had a ton of fun though.

Project 2 Presentation

Finally! Without further ado, I present my stop motion:

Storyboard Update

I've decided I'm gonna stick to my apartment break-in story:














I didn't add to much to the storyboard itself, just a couple of frames with a growing pile of cans in between shots of me collecting them.

For the type presenting the present and future, I'm either going to use a whiteboard like the tutorial we saw or animate digital type, I haven't decided yet.

I found the perfect spot for the prison scene! The Abbott basement.

And also. I design the Omegatron poster:


















And my mugshot:

Storyboards

So here are my storyboard in preparation for the second project, please excuse my poor sketching skills and talking about myself in the third person.

This story is about a chicken wing contest.

This board tells a story of me purchasing a TV, only to have it stolen as I end up in prison.

This is the last one where I learn to play guitar. Probably the lamest, but has some cool animation effects.

The music playing parts might go something like this:

Reverse Storyboard

I decided to do just over a minute of Tony vs. Paul, I hope this .jpg can be zoomed in.
