Week 7 – storyboards and flour sack animation

Above is my storyboard draft for our group world animation project. I wanted to try and go for something that would be interesting and make sense, so i thought since the character I’ve chosen to animate is a child, why not express that through her curiosity and fear of the creature.

I wrote notes alongside each shot as i went to keep things easier for me to remember and to describe the important details to whoever was reading.

Below is my flour sack animation that we were tasked with as a warm up for next week. We had to take a flour sack and try to animate it with weight and form in mind.

My flour sack was initially too small, so instead of erasing it i let it add to the animation and made it bigger through the use of “growth” from a super Mario like mushroom. The flour sack then gets eaten at the end to represent my hatred for the shape and form of the sack, because i find it very difficult to draw and maintain and thought it’d be an interesting way to end the animation but also let me get my sort of revenge on it.
