Few days ago I finished my first storyboard draft. Before finishing it I looked up some interesting camera angles so I could had some to my animation. At this stage it is really hard to know if I will follow the storyboard exactly as it is now. Personally I like where this project is going but there is still a lot of work.
Here’s my Storyboard ! Let me know what you think!
Meanwhile I asked some feedback from my teacher on it and he made some statements:
- Not sure if it touched him personally enough or too much
- We can’t see much detail on the close ups on the heads and that’s something I should work on
- The ending (looping) is fine for him but some people might not understand…
- Since we are still far from finishing the animation, there is no need to focus directly on that now.
- No background would be an interesting approach.
Conclusion:
In order to understand more how the animation would look like I have to make 1 or 2 head animation trials for next week.
The main character is a girl and I’ll have to animate her hair so I’ll take this trials to also practice animating that.
Some might not understand my storyboard so I’ll let you know 2 important things:
- The hat represents the typical zombie citizen, closed in his own box, not being able to see anything around. Materialism, Capitalism.
- The notebook represents whatever the society might be loosing…
A great friend of mine, Constança, helped me realize this and I guess it’s a major help to understand the story!
Let me know what you think!
