Introduction
This week we started making the 3d storyboards of the idea we chose last week. I picked the Idea 3 which was about the star of the school.
3D Storyboards
I made the 3d storyboards this week and later on I got the feedback on how to improve it. My mentor gave me some ideas to change my shots and we also deleted some shots. The main feedback on these frames were that I should not show the entire class view and show all the students filling sheets, rather I should just focus on the last benches and pan the camera. I got the idea on how to save animation efforts in some scenes and make them more straight forward.
In these shots, I was told to show a star portal opening from where the character falls down. We also removed the whole camera rotation which leads to the establishing shot of the star. I have also been told about the posing and directions and camera transitions.
These are the shots in which a lot of action and camera movement is happening. My mentor helped me simplify the camera movements and placement of shots.
In these shots, we discussed about the placements of the characters and camera zooming.
Critical Reflection
This exercise of making 3d storyboards was extremely helpful. It taught me about different camera angles and transitions. I have also learnt about making the scenes simple yet engaging.
