AGI Studio One - Week 8 WIP

By Bycharlotte

In week 8 I started illustrating new scenes for my work and attempted storyboarding for the first time.  Planning is essential and needs to be done prior to production even though I just jumped in with my work, but I wanted to take few steps back and get a feel of the standard way of approaching animated short. 

This week I researched storyboarding and read a lot about it and watched multiple tutorials on how to storyboard and realised the art of storyboarding is a powerful tool to help communicate ideas. When used properly storyboards can streamline production, get everyone on the same page, avoid common mistakes, and keep things on track. I also did some research to write my folio 2 plan proposal, which helped me develop my proposal conceptually. Moreover I looked into creating different types of textures using brushes and was able to find free brush sets for Procreate which helped me get new beautiful textures. 

Moving forward I need to animate the new scenes that I started illustrating this week. Again I need to stop taking so much time for each illustration and I shouldn’t get into so much detail and continue working on my script and ways to conclude it even though it should have been done prior to everything else but I’m writing the story as I’m moving forward.
