Homework for this week was to discuss with our groups and take advice and feedback about our storyboards to make changes. I took the advice that the begin of my storyboards didn’t make much sense so I changed it to a car driving up to the casino. It fades to a car and it drives it up to the casino then the car door opens. The camera walks up to the door with the two bodyguards at each side of the door. They look at the camera and stare at the audience and then open the door which fades to white. I’m happy enough with the changes and looking forward to animating.
Fixed Storyboards
For the expressions in the storyboards and animatic I took pictures of myself showing the expressions I wanted. Obviously I will be making these expressions more dramatic as our groups animation has a cartoony style.
Animatic
I created the animatic in After Effects and the drawings in Procreate. I exported the images into After Effects and put them in order with the right timing that I thought suited best. I also added a black fade in at the start and then a white fade out at the end so that it can transition to the next persons animation.
