Telling Stories

Our first project at LCA was to create a fully rendered storyboard that successfully depicts the story of a nursery rhyme. We could pick any nursery rhyme we wanted so I chose Hickory Dickory Dock. The first stage of our storyboarding was to very quickly bash out some stickynote storyboard frames that would show the story, while thinking a little about camera angles and framing. 


Then I drew up a more detailed storyboard in my sketchbook, thinking more about detail and changing a few things from the original storyboard to make it flow better and putting more thought into the shots. This storyboard included some written details about what was happening in the scene.


I then got some feedback from my classmates and Mike and it was suggested that I make the first shot an even wider angle and moved the composition of the third shot over a bit more as the mouse was a little squashed in the edge. 



So I reworked those two and moved onto the final storyboard which I did in photoshop using a tablet.
I really enjoyed this project and I'm really happy with the way it turned out, even if the process did involve a lot or repetition and took a long time.
