#storyboarding process

In ain’t one to draw a perspective grid and then place figures in it; it’s never worked for me. So here’s my method!

Storyboard & Thumbnails: 3 Cats and a Mouse (Old Version)

A little storyboard edition of #throwbackthursday: my storyboard & thumbnails for my animated short in my Fall 2021 beginner 2D animation class. I still include these thumbnails so that you can see my process. Planning on redoing this into a cleaner board/less timed animatic in Adobe Fresco with their vector brushes.

Edits

The only tweak so far: the cat names from their placeholder names (since the short doesn't mention their names). Originally: Felicity = Happy, Tristan = Sad, Damon = Mad.

Thumbnails Commentary

Composition-wise, there are mostly minor changes b/w thumbs & final boards. Key differences were the additional shots (cut for time) and different poses.

Self Critique/Notes

+ Liked how the off-beat but kind of endearing climax turned out; developing of surreal humor

+ Liked how Tristan’s character arc turned out (unconfident -> determined)

- Possibly remove Felicity

-- No need for her after the beginning of the story???

+ Possible springboard of exploring her in other works

- For the re-do: focus more on better expressions (possibly pull from thumbnails)

This is why I love storyboarding because you get these quick lovely sketches, also upcoming new short animation.
