Context
Since I made a complete change to the storyboard in the last 2 weeks, I did it in a very short time, and there is a lot of content that has not been expressed. Hopefully next I can refine the individual shots.I've always really liked the use of sound. So after finishing each shot I started to look for the right sound for my production. Among them, I used the open source free sound resource package Pizza No.8, and I also used the sound from the video I usually shoot to add it to it.For my animatic, I plan to add more possibilities in the final shot, so I need to consult with matt, moon and jadd as soon as possible in the next work.

In the preparatory work, I will use PS to complete the character setting and storyboard.

And about my environment design, I refer to the jojo mentioned above, Shutter Islandand INSIDE OUT

For my animation settings, I refer to Demon Slayer, Falling tide and Rick and Morty.

For my story narrative and story content, I refer to Rick and Morty, Falling tide and Servant らの手にはもないけど

I synthesized these works and conceived my current work. Completed animatic with ps timeline function (recommended to use software such as tvp and tbh, which is more convenient for post-production)

Rationale/Motivation:

I've seen some great animations lately, and they've all created a beautiful story through the camera and environment storytelling in a simple art style with comfortable music. and I've always been very passionate about creating funny and lovable characters, and I have so many ideas in my head about making a touching story. But it is a challenge for me to convert the text story into the picture to express it.
And this week I started re-creating my storyboard, so I had the opportunity to re-imagined a new content. And this content I'm going to try to make a sad story.

Method

In the beginning I designed my background with a brighter color, then I adjusted the brightness to -50 because it was out of balance with the front lens.

For the design of the characters, I refer to limbo. Compared with the previous two versions, I prefer the current style. And I chose the rabbit just because I thought it was cute at first, but after communicating with Matt, I added two inner messages to the rabbit: 1. Connect with the real world, 2. This is a mobile phone case, which means that the girl crossed time and space to save the boy .

Impact

I learned a lot in the last two weeks. It's about environment design, environment and character interactivity, sound effects. And the most important thing should be about time management. Because in week1~week4 I spend a lot of time on APD and come up with an interesting story. This caused me to work very hard on week5 and week6. I believe I only get about 2 hours of sleep a day on average for a week. I started to get frustrated with time. Later, because I found new inspiration and liked my own story very much, I was still able to complete my project mentally in the middle of the night.Next I need to balance the time for each subject and like Matt said, focus on where it is needed. I remember that Yee Hui Wong gave us an experience sharing in week 1, one of which was 'Know your limits and try not to burn yourself out'. I believe that I almost burned myself out in these few weeks. Based on the experience of the past few weeks, I decided to strictly follow the content of the timetable to complete my project.
