Storyboarding!

When I came to storyboarding the script, I started with a storyboard template with a stiff boundary. I did find, with this template, I tended to want to draw the shots very detailed and spent a lot of time doing each one. This meant that it took me quite a while to draw just the opening sequence. I quickly scraped the template and I hand drew my boundaries and roughed out the story. I decided to focus and nail the particular scene that I was going to animate. However, as I focused on one scene, some of the characters I had created became unnecessary. In future, I will use this experience to decide on the scene before I create the characters. I received feedback on the rough storyboard and changed it accordingly. This was a much quicker and more coherent process than I had previously put to practice. Once I had my final roughed storyboard, I digitally returned to the template to create an animatic.
