The Storyboard Animatic Project of Learning pt.23

I  am finally on the last leg of getting the animatic finished.  However I am no longer at SCAD, and only have access to my computer.

   No more beautiful two computer workspaces.

         Somehow,  either through a deal SCAD that lasts longer than when I finished, or by sown miracle of GOD,  I am able to use After Effects for free.  Since I don't have a computer just for visual reference, I have devised a way to use the snippet tool to create my reference images.

            I used these images that I took from key moments that I want to animate and used them as the points of reference.

       This is basically how I was doing things with two computers only not as specific. That is just a price I am going to have to pay however, if I want to keep this project under the 2 year mark.

The Storyboard Animatic Project of Learning Pt. 4

        So, near the end of the quarter I lost access to the SCAD resources.  So what I did was start to make the final drawings that I knew I needed.  However I was unsure of the aspect ratio and could not remember if I found out what it was or not.  So I just cut left over storyboard templates in half and drew on the back.

   

          I was already planning on drawing on the back of these anyway, just with a windows for the frame.  That way I could make the drawings as big as possible.  Instead I had to draw them smaller so that I would have enough in the frame, and not have to redo the board.  One of the advantages to this is that have more wiggle room with the camera placement.  Also, I would have done this anyway with some of the shots and camera movements.  Here are some of the boards:

         Being the broke son of a bitch that I am, I only intend to use blue line for the perspective so I can save money.  Pencil lead is cheaper.  Working on these I did simple panel shots along with drawing the environment for me to place figures in.  The figures I drew in perspective using my light board.  This step is still in progress.  A couple of weeks ago SCAD came back in session, so I have returned to the buildings to finish up my 2nd Thumbnail runthrough.

PS.  This is my workspace.
