My Story Board

Here is the plan for my story board originally I wanted to do something more adventurous but I had problems since this is my first actual storyboard for an animation.

In the end I went for opening a birthday day present focusing on the emotion of surprise. This can be interesting when adding shock when the trick is revealed. The strongest use of exaggeration in the storyboard is when they rip open the present.

Overall it it went quite well the animation was timed in real time using a home video camera to time out the events and add more into the expression. I feel that the story making process needed more work however I could change the location for the short to add different opportunities for conflict. Also how the story is at the moment it might be too long for 30 seconds. considering the smashing the present at the end. The character design also needs doing. The basic character used will be replaced with an anthropomorphic animal. The staging may need improving or simplifying to allow the audience to read the actions.
