Week 8 was an introduction to storyboarding, alongside a brief introduction to animatics, that can assist with planning shots and cinematography.

Class Activities:

I created a flour sack witch and wanted to mess around with a silly story. I will admit the planning and framing isn’t ideal here for shots but I had fun coming up with a silly little narrative to fit the description text.

The second exercise was to animate a flour sack jumping. I wanted to try a difficult movement to see if what I intended to animate translates well. I used procreate as practise for getting the idea of doing a rough animation.

Sack animation rough:

Sack animation: in-between frames added. This made the animation sequence a lot smoother. It was easier than I expected to lay down the ground work for an action then draw the missing sections. I also added a floor so my sack jumped and landed in the right areas.
