Week 9

Last week we continued developing ideas for our final animation. We shared our storyboards with the class and we talked more about character sheets. My storyboard currently consists of 11 images. I scanned 11 pictures that I had sketched in pencil and went over with permanant marker into Photoshop, and then I brought each of my pictures into Illustrator. I think that if I stick with my storyboard I will be more efficient about developing my animation. I think that one of my biggest challenges will be to stick with the storyline and not get wrapped up in ideas that don't lend to the overall idea of the story. I want the viewer to be able to follow my story quite easiely. This definitely does not mean that I don't want there to be an element of suspense however. Rather, I just don't want to get too caught up in the details.
