Subject
Create a storyboard for your walk cycle. You should use a single view of your character (i.e: walking profile) (otherwise, you will have to create more animated versions of it), but instead of revealing the entire scene/character at once, use different shot types to focus the viewer’s attention on different details (i.e: the character’s jewelry, blinking eyes, its tail, a part of the background, a prop etc.). You should also include a title and credits (signal any movement of the text in the panel). Use the captions to write down audio elements (sound effects, music cues, voice over etc.). Don’t forget to indicate any movement within the frame or camera movement with arrows.
Here’s an example:
Format
The storyboard should be created on paper (or on a tablet). Print (or recreate) this template. If you decide to use a different template/create your own, make sure that there are 6 panels per page and that they abide to the HD aspect ration (16:9). Scan, export or take a photo of your storyboard to turn it into a digital file (JPG or PDF).
Submission
Create a new post on your Open Lab portfolio. Your post should include your storyboard as well as a short description (reflections on your process, challenges, goals etc. are also welcome).
This assignment is due next week. Submit the following files on the following platforms:
Blackboard: A link to your Open Lab post.
Open Lab discussion board: Reply to this post with a link to your Open Lab post
This is part of the final project. It will be taken into account in the final grade for the project (see full grading rubric here).
