Process<\/h3>\n
While some filmmakers create their own storyboards, large productions often have a dedicated storyboard artist(s)<\/strong> who translate(s) the script into a visual narrative.<\/p>\n Storyboards are usually comprised of simple, sequential, rough, monochromatic drawings<\/strong> \u2013 created on a tablet or on paper. Some artists also like to use other drafting media<\/strong>, such as paint, pastels, charcoal etc.<\/p>\n A storyboard should include the following elements:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Staging<\/a> is the animation principle which most directly relates to storyboarding<\/strong>: it refers to the process of presenting an idea in a way that is completely clear. When storyboarding a sequence, you are planning the actions, shots, camera movements, and sounds that will tell your story (or present your scene\/character) in the most compelling way possible \u2013 thus applying the staging principle.<\/p>\n Almost all aspects of your animation should be taken into account when staging\/storyboarding:<\/p>\n Create a storyboard for your walk cycle<\/strong>. You should use a single<\/span> view of your character (i.e: walking profile) (otherwise, you will have to create more animated versions of it), but \u00a0instead of revealing the entire scene\/character at once, use different shot types<\/strong> to focus the viewer\u2019s attention on different details (i.e: the character\u2019s jewelry, blinking eyes, its tail, a part of the background, a prop etc.). You should also include a title and credits<\/strong> (signal any movement of the text in the panel). Use the captions<\/strong> to write down audio elements<\/strong> (sound effects, music cues, voice over etc.). Don\u2019t forget to indicate any movement within the frame<\/strong> or camera movement<\/strong> with arrows.<\/p>\n Here’s an example:<\/p>\n The storyboard should be created on paper<\/strong>\u00a0(or on a tablet). Print (or recreate)\u00a0this template<\/strong><\/a>. 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<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Create a new post on your Open Lab portfolio. Your post should include your storyboard<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0as well as a short description<\/strong>\u00a0(reflections on your process, challenges, goals etc. are also welcome).<\/p>\n This assignment is due next week. Submit the following files on the following platforms:<\/p>\n This is part of the final project. It will be taken into account in the final grade for the\u00a0project (see full grading rubric\u00a0here<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Storyboarding What is a storyboard? A storyboard is a series of panels on which a set of sketches is arranged to consecutively depict the important elements of the story.\u00a0It is usually created before the animation and serves as a reference for the animator.\u00a0Because the animation process is so time-consuming, proper planning through storyboarding can save … Continue reading “Week 7”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"portfolio_post_id":0,"portfolio_citation":"","portfolio_annotation":"","openlab_post_visibility":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-420","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-pinkas-s2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-pinkas-s2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-pinkas-s2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-pinkas-s2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-pinkas-s2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-pinkas-s2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/420\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":928,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-pinkas-s2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/420\/revisions\/928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp260-pinkas-s2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
