About the Author - Animation storyboarding

I decided to start doing the animation after I had finished the prints. I think that this was a good way to go about it, as the prints need to link the composition/design. Although, this was after a good few weeks of having after effects workshops so when I opened the program I did stare quite blankly at the ominous screen for a few minutes.

Anyway

I already knew I wasn't going to be queen of after effects, so went with quite simple storyboards. As long as they linked to my prints, were two colour and not absolute shit then I would be fine. I decided that panicking over this would be silly.


Storyboard 1
I like having the babel fish as the main focus of the animation, but it doesn't really link to my print. I also think that it is more complicated than my animation needs to be. Anddd it is pretty much the same as the short animation of the babel fish in the film, so what's really the point in recreating that.


Storyboard 2
I think this is the board I like the most. It's really simple but not too simple that it's just boring. It links to my prints really well too, so if they were displayed together they'd work as a set. I'm not sure how I'm going to put the elements together so they form the face accurately, but I'll get to that hurdle when it comes.

Storyboard 3
I do like this idea too. Very similar to the previous one, but with zooming involved. It would link to my prints, but is a fair bit harder than just having the elements come together, which I'm not too sure how to  create. I think it's best that I should stick to something that with a little bit of help I know I can do, especially as it's been emphasised so many times that it needs to be simple.
