Narrative: Revised Animatic + Storyborard

Animatic (No Sound)

One of my jobs for my narrative group was to create the storyboard and animatic. As the first attempts didn't make the story an easy task to understand and had a few other problems, I need to fix those problems. One of the things I needed to do was to introduce the female character earlier, as it felt strange for her to appear randomly near to the end. I have introduced both characters within the same shot and they both have similar lengths of time on screen.

I had some problems thinking about an appropriate ending, however, and so I gave it a bit of an ambiguous ending, as it is open to interpretation as to whether he throws the knife on or off target. This will therefore lead to the theme of fate being answered.

Fantastic Voyage: Storyboard

Stamp of Nature - Storyboard

This is the storyboard for the animation. It is quite simple, but manages to show the animation will play out well. It is a little confusing when trying to show the boy taking notes during the life cycle, but apart from that, I think it is relatively easy to understand.

From Script to Screen: Animatic (Without Sound)

This is my first animatic, but without sound. It is 26 seconds over the one minute, but I haven't fully edited the shots, so it should be shorter when I added the audio/dialogue. I am relatively happy with this, as it does have some interesting shots, but there are also shots I would have wanted to look different, but I was unable to show that, either through drawing or premiere.

From Script to Screen: Storyboard

This storyboard is a lot different to my like for like one, and is more suitable for the style as it is is reasonably close to the design. Scene 2 is definitely the longest, but scene 1 and scene 3 are quite short, so it should last for around a minute or so.
