Development | Storyboarding

Once I'd decided on the concept of my animation I needed to put it down on paper. I drew a very short storyboard of images to illustrate my idea in my sketchbook, as seen below:



And then I went on to digitalise this using Adobe Illustrator. I have really enjoyed doing this process today. I think its shown me how working up from a paper copy to a rough digital copy is more helpful than I'd previously thought. By creating this digital storyboard I could easily create an animatic in no time ready to pitch my idea to my classmates. Here's a screenshot of my storyboard under construction:

Hopefully by the time I do the next post I'll have completed the storyboard and finished the visual elements of my animatic and the audio will be well underway.
