RATIONALE – why are you doing what you are doing?
The purpose of creating a storyboard is to sort out the camera sense in your head and draw it out, and to decide the duration of each shot initially, so that the design of the screen can be clearer and more explicit in the next animation production. This way, the design of the screen can be clearer and clearer in the next animation, and the camera design can be modified more quickly.
CONTEXT – who else is doing what you are doing?
I research some article about storyboard and found this about storyboard research is very interesting.This research focused on a new method in the development of animation story content, which could shorten the creation process and arouse new ideas. Two phases of experiments were conducted to explore this reversed model. The first phase is a pretest of participants' creativity, which was a base for further examination the relationship between personal creativity and good story design. Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) was adopted and two divergent thinking tasks of TTCT - unusual uses task and picture construction task were executed. The second phase was an experiment by using a digital storyboarding system - Crazy Talk Animator to create a story without written script. The results suggest that storyboarding is feasible as a method for creating animated content. Participants found the storyboard-driven approach to content creation helpful in visualizing and modifying their ideas. In their design results, we found that it was still possible to create a good story structure using a storyboard-driven approach. The results of this study can help novice designers with animation content training.(Tsai-Yun Mou, Tay-Sheng Jeng and Chien-Hsu Chen,From storyboard to story: Animation content development,2013)
METHODS – how will you do what you are doing?
First, I just sketched a storyboard, and then it was more convenient to realize this project. In the storyboard is divided into two parts, the first is a relatively short beginning of the beginning, is drawn by hand. When the film officially starts, the real scene is shot as the background, and then on the scene I drew the animals.
OUTCOMES – what are the tangible objects that must be made to articulate success?
What I had to do during the week was to sort out a complete storyboard and modify it to a state where I could tell the story properly.
