After reworking my animation plan, I then quickly redid my ending storyboards to give a better conclusion to the shorter narrative, the final shot of Screech being a motion taken from the original shot 16. Below is a render of the new storyboards from shot 11 to 16, in addition to a full version ofContinue reading DES 525 Major Project- New Storyboard Shots
Over the Winter Break and taking some time off for Christmas, my first task for getting back into the work flow was to create the car prop for shots 21 and 24. Considering that the car would only appear from two static angles, I knew that I could use a tweening animation style with itContinue reading DES 525 Major Project- Car Prop Creation
After completing my storyboards, the next section of feedback I was given after my Pre-Production presentation was to adjust my character designs. The main points that I was advised to touch up were varying the pink in Screech’s design so it was easier to read, changing Snatch’s tail design as the stripes would be difficultContinue reading DES 525 Major Project- Updated Character and Prop Designs
After the Pre-Production Presentation given on the 5th of November, I immediately went on to finish the rest of my storyboards as the version in my presentation was only 2/3s finished. So over the next week I had worked on shots 17 to 28, and then edited them into the final version of the storyboards.Continue reading DES 525 Major Project- Completed Animatic
At this point in time, I have given my pre-production presentation on the work done over the three weeks since our Pitch Presentation, my slides being seen below.

I had decided to start on the second shot instead of the first as it is merely an establishing shot of the Patty Prince restaurant setting. Furthermore, I had initially gone more detailed andContinue reading DES 525 Major Project- Storyboard / Animatic Progress and Placeholder Sound Design
Before getting into storyboarding Snatch and Screech, I wanted to create a shot list of some kind to get a better sense of the sequence of events I plan on using, and to know my runtime and work load for this project as I am working solo. Due to my latter reasons for needing toContinue reading DES 525 Major Project- Scripting for Snatch and Screech
After giving my Pitch Presentation, I got to work on making improvements on my work based on the critiques I was given, one of which being that I’m getting there with my art style, however I need more time and practice with it. Below are further sketch practices I had done to practice the 1940sContinue reading DES 525 Major Project- Updated Character Designs
For week 3 of our Major Project, we were to give a Pitch Presentation on the short film ideas we had been building up over the first few weeks of the semester. I took it as a last opportunity to either find a group I was interested in working with, or find people who wouldContinue reading DES 525 Major Project- Pitch Presentation
During Week 1, I had decided to go ahead with working independently on my project ideas for the Pitch Presentation on Week 3, as I felt the most confident in the art style ideas that I had put out into the course’s Discord server. After mulling over my three main ideas, I decided to goContinue reading DES 525 Major Project- Idea Development, Style Study & Character Concepts
