Animatics

I've assembled an animatic of my sketchboard for my final project. I discovered this process of figuring out timing of sequences becomes more accurate when audio is added. Unfortunately, this also increases the file size exponentially. If anyone is interested in viewing my movie w/sound added let me know :-)

The Body Shop Storyboard

Sorry, I'm having difficulty uploading the storyboards as PDFs. These are the same boards as the TIF files I'm using as alternatives because the file size for these pdfs are so great (approx. 4mb each). Let's try this again....

The Body Shop Storyboard

Here is my storyboard for my final project. As I figured something like this would occur, I ran into several visual complications and transitions when I sketched the storyboard from the split-screen script. For example, I decided to eliminate the first 18seconds of footage which was of a busy NYC street. Instead, everything takes place within the store scene. Also, I needed a stronger catalyst for my story. So, now the reason my character is shopping for the "perfect body" is to attend a party. This undoubtly happens quite often and I am glad I encountered these issues now rather than late in the production process. I am revising my script. I tried to imagine some interesting photography angles with emphasis on point of view and direction of interest. I really like one of the shots that happen late in the video in which the character stares at himself in a mirror. Enjoy!

Here is a style frame from my video presentation.

Split Screen Script

I found a couple of ways to trim my length down. By doing this, I managed to shave off 10-seconds from the previous version. Here is my updated files:

I still need to cut down on my run time.

====================================

To day I am prepared to present my proposed script for my final project. I have discovered that after carefully estimating run times for some of my shot sequences, my duration is greater than 30-seconds. Therefore, I need to find ways to either remove some sequences, like setting up the establishing an environment, or decreasing the length of time allotted for a sequence to complete. Perhaps it isn't necessary to have the transition shot of a bustling NYC street into a little boutique? What will my music samples be for my sequences, and how will they transition from one scene to the next? I'm still in the process of brainstorming these issues.
