Adding tones to storyboard frames in preparation for animatic

 


For the last couple of days I've been working in collaboration with a small team of my fellow students Rahul, Heather and Emma to produce a storyboard in preparation for creating an animatic to show at a group presentation with our other class mates. Here's part of my original sketches...


I starts with a shot of the entrance to the Barbarella Club, which then transforms into the iconic moon and the spoon symbol associated with Studio 54. The moon leans back and takes a bite from the spoon and morphs into a rotating smiley face, a symbol associated with the rave scene.

The end of the sequence was adapted with the removal of the record player and the overall tone of the animatic had been set by some very atmospheric work by Rahul for the start of the storyboard...








Everybody on the team has used the above artwork as a style and colour guide to try and create a unified finish so baring this in mind, I worked up my original idea using Procreate on my iPad. Here's the finished sequence.

Black and white life studies...

As well as practicing my knowledge of value through using a value scale while life drawing, Kieran suggested I try making some life studies in just black and white again to work on my use/placement of lights and darks.  Once again I used the New Masters Academy YouTube channel for reference to produce the following digital charcoal drawings... Both of the above images were drawn in an hour, thirty minutes each. I spent forty-five minutes on each of the three below. I feel I'm starting to really benefit from these exercises and improving in small ways with each new drawing. Just for fun here are some 'arty' shots of the above images created in Procreate...

Adapting my new work flow on one last illustration...

Image
Looking back through my work from the MSc, I would have liked to complete more coloured artwork as well as having touched on some simple animation however the time just didn't allow for it. I did find just enough time though to watch this tutorial on animation assist in Procreate... I then started work on the design at the top of the page, which is a still image taken from a sequence. I plan to finish a full colour version of this animated clip once the course is finished.

My final portfolio...

Image
For the final version of my portfolio I had a very in-depth critique with Kieran, he suggested I change the format from portrait to landscape so it would be more appealing on laptops and desktop. The font was also changed and the title pages removed to make it more concise and streamlined.  We also talked about the presentation and layout of the pages and reduced the number of characters initially shown. Overall I'm very pleased, you can view it below...
