Dimension Hopper Pitch Presentation Slides

We had the pre-production presentation this week, and I was aware of the fact that we were falling behind a little and I was feeling apprehensive about giving the presentation – even more so than usual.  The feedback we got was critical and there were a lot of questions asked about the direction of the project and inconsistencies pointed out and we left feeling a little bit unsure.

We once again began to discuss the storyline and plot beats and overall storyline, due to further feedback and direction from Henry and Mike about how the storyline was still overly complicated and hard to understand for an audience who had no prior context. So, after further discussion between us and the lecturers, we decided it would be better to focus on the idea of the rabbit being a thief who is breaking into the place to steal the artefact and having the cat be a security guard there who is protecting the archives instead of trying to tell a convoluted story through a court case in what would probably be roughly a 2-minute animation.

After receiving the feedback from the presentation and reworking our storyline, we decided we needed to create an outline of the storyline events as well, so we had a clearer idea of the story and plot beats to build upon and to allow us to move on with developing storyboards and clearer concept art.

Megan set up a Miro and Trello board to allow us to visualise the concepts and then organise and track work progress. Chloe and I sat together and worked out the storyline, organising it in the Miro board for me to use in the storyboards, as I told them I needed us to have a clearer idea of what was going to happen in the short if I was the only person going to be working on the storyboards.
