Final Brief
I had a great time on this project, and while I feel I could’ve done a bit more, particularly in terms of background art, I’m very happy with where this project ended up. It took us a while to get a solid idea, but once we had that we were ready to go. It was nice to have a group that valued everyone’s input.
I think the hardest part of this project was figuring out our story and script, at least for me. We went through a couple different ideas, some were too silly or needlessly complicated, but I’m happy with the story we landed on, even though it wasn’t my own idea. Splitting the group to come up with our own scripts based on the idea and deciding on the elements of each script we liked best was a really interesting experience. It gave the group a chance to see everyone’s vision, and thus I feel we had a stronger base when making our final script.
From there we each went and researched our assigned areas. While I looked at previous moon missions and the vehicles(the Lunar Module and the Lunar Roving Vehicle), I took notes on what i felt what relevant to the project. I also looked at a few books on filmmaking and the composition of shots, which I found helped me in the story boarding process.
Storyboarding would have to be my favourite part of this project. I really enjoyed getting the chance to take a script and visualise it. There were some areas that I didn’t know what to do with initially, but it was nice as different members of my group had different ideas, and together our storyboards made a, in my opinion, cohesive and interesting storyboard. That was nice to adapt in the style we chose when I was remaking the storyboard.
Concept work was also very enjoyable. I focused on the design of the character’s faces, the LRV/buggy and the mural in the cave. I really appreciated my teammates for all their hard work in their own areas, and especially enjoyed to see what they were coming up with. With slightly more time I would’ve loved to have worked on more backgrounds, but as it is, I’m happy with what I’ve produced.
The presentation was an area I feel I could’ve improved on, at least with myself. I was nervous and while I tried not to let that affect me, I feel I could’ve been more confident in my words and had more to say in my sections.
Overall though, I really couldn’t have asked for a better group to work with and I’m very happy with the project we’ve ended up with.
