Inspiration for individual scenes

I have completed the Final story board!!!!! WAAAAHOOO!!

What did i learn from this long task?? that i am 

no storyboard artist thats what.

It was far more difficult than i expected, as my understanding of a storyboard is to express the character movement efficiently using as little a det

ail as possible and to be done as quickly as possible. Well in i am not naturally fast at drawing and it took a lot of research on my part to come up with finished shots that i though was visually pleasing. However i felt like the storyboard need to be neat and detailed as we were going to used these drawings for our animatic and they needed to be self explanatory. Another reason i found this difficult was because our animation was not a narrative tale, more like moving graphics, which have none of subtleties of movement and character that is needed in a conventional storyboard. However i am pleased with the result and pulled an all- nighter to get it completed with plenty of time to be composited with the s

ound track into an animatic.  

This is the research which i used to inspire some of the scenes in my storyboard: 

Scene 1.

Myself and the rest of the team had decided from nearly the very begining to merge the idea of cut out photographs with the black outline drawings of "I met the walrus"  since the old photos of Hayle which were provided to the course were so beautiful. This combination remind us of the tile sequence of juno- jerky pixalated film, with black outlines, placed on a painted out environment. We decided we wanted do use this technique for the Narrator character, as it would illiminate the problems of drawing the lip-syching and also express to the audience the idea this audio being real- and the memories a real personal experience and not just compiled for the animation.

Tester 1

The genius that is Kat, did testers of all the techniques we might need within our animation while i was busy darwing the storyboard, and she managed to come up with a way of cutting out a moving character and placing it on a alpha channel without using a green screen. AMAZING!
