1. Rationale: intention
For my folio 1, I would like to do some pre-production works for animation. I wish I can improve my pre-production skill through the process, like character and environment design, storyboarding, and scriptwriting. Also, if I still have time, I would like to create a 2D animation based on the animatic, but in the first six weeks, I will focus on the pre-production step.
2. Context: Field
The animation will be a character-driven story with some action & comedy, and it will be around 1 to 2 minutes.
Outstanding Storyboard Artist:
Charles Ratteray
Amelia Lorenz
3. Method
For this project, Photoshop will become the main production tool for the character, and background design. Also, I will utilize the After effect to do the compositing.
4. Tools & Timeline
Photoshop, After effect
Week 1: plan
Week 2: character design, script
Week 3: storyboarding
Week 4 & 5: making animatic
Week 6: compositing the animatic with music
5. Outcome
1 to 2 minutes animatic.
