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:
