The Storyboard Animatic Project of Learning Pt.2

         So,  after the Storyboard Pro 2 trial ran out, I realized that I could still use the SCAD computers until the end of the quarter.  So I talked to a friend that teaches there and helped me figure out what I needed to know to make a storyboard animatic in After Effects. Before that I redid my thumbnails like so.

         Originally All of the thumbnails were suppose to be at the quality of the first image.  But due to the fact that I only had till the end of the quarter for free access to After Effects, I had to hurry up and get these done.  Upon finishing said thumbnails I went to see my friend in the SCAD building and began the proccess of turning the thumbnails into an animatic.

       This is the video result, also known as run through 1:

The Storyboard Animatic Project of Learning Pt. 1

           So, during my class in the summer I was told that if I really needed to learn how to make a storyboard animatic and use Storyboard Pro.  Storyboard Pro happens to be the storyboard program that is standard in the industry.  So I decided that when it came to teaching myself how to make them that I would take my Korra Gangam style idea further and make storyboard a music video version.

           After finishing the drawing, I started to work on teaching myself how to make an animatic, so I downloaded a trial of Storyboard Pro 2.  After playing around with it for a little, I remembered the Gangam Style idea, and using my mouse made these crappy thumbnails to figure out what I wanted to do to figure out the timing of the video and what I wanted to do.

This is a good idea of what they looked like.

           The problem with the Storyboard Pro 2 trial was that you could only do segments of 30 seconds.  So I had save the project in parts. 5 to be exact.  Due to starting a job and needing to study for it. I managed to finish it just before the trial ended.   This is the point when I realized that I could sneak into a SCAD building.
