Story Boards

We took a big step this week in establishing rough storyboards.  By finishing rough storyboards, we were able to start focusing in on art styles and music.  We believe that music will really shape the tone and style of the story and will also play a vital role in our end of semester deliverable.

Artwork

Our storyboards were rough storyboards, but while we were working on storyboards we were also working on concept art for the main character.  Several passes have been made at the concept art, and we are narrowing in on what our main character will look like in the upcoming week.

With the rough storyboards completed, our director (along with the rest of the team),  was able to start exploring camera angles and what will be seen by the viewers.  In doing so, minor changes to the story were made to reduce our overall length of the story.  Our goal is to be able to establish the setting and story as concisely and clearly as possible.  The storyboards will go through several iterations, but we have found the storyboards have been an extremely helpful tool in furthering and clarifying our story.

Next Week

Next week we will have our moving storyboards, a first pass at music, character concepts, and environment concepts.  With the completion of the above tasks, we will be in excellent shape for our halves presentations.
