Storyboard

What follows are a few pages of select drawings from my storyboard. being 100 drawings in length there would be no point screen-shotting all of them so I have compiled all of them into a slideshow at the bottom of this section. I drew each frame manually into the computer using "autodesk sketchbook pro" as it had a nice image sequencer and playback so I could see how the storyboard was moving and ended up with a fairly accurate summation of what the final animation would be like. As with design, this storyboarding was essential for me to realise my final animation as I would use this as my layout design to achieve consistent, aesthetically pleasing camera angles and basic layouts. This stage would also allow me to see all the designs come together and see if they worked well against the others.

Now that my storyboard was complete I had a rough idea of how the thing was going to look. The next step from here was to get a better idea of the movement and timing which the storyboard couldn't give me. To do this I would have to take my storyboard and turn it into an animatic.
