Entry 13- Complications

This lesson, Mr. Powell talked about maintaining our blog, having a storyboard, research, and the animation iBook task. Since he went through a lot, I didn't have time to do anything that lesson, but to print out a storyboard template. I'm pretty behind my animation, and I would like to finish my backgrounds by the end of next week at the very least since drawing characters are less time-consuming than the background. I still have no idea how I could transition to the scenes in where the protagonist sees the six affected people, so I would like to work on that soon. If I draw fairies/angels to "guide" him to the six affected people, that may just complicate the whole animation. If I draw him watching TV, that would seem too, irregular from the heaven idea.

I also have to draw a storyboard, which would take a whole lot of time from my schedule for Media Arts. I would probably have to work for an incredible amount of time at home for me to finish my animation and the evaluation by the end of this term. I still have eight backgrounds to draw, which is stress itself. I will have to think of another way to decrease my load, or just cut some parts of the animation.

The storyboard is drawn to show what we are planning to do in the animation. Mr. Powell showed us some examples of the avatar storyboard, where the producer drew a specific scene image, wrote a short description and the camera angles for that scene. Apparently, the director the film then use that storyboard to create a "perfect" scene for the animation.

For my animation, I will have about 9 scenes; 2 opening, 6 affected people and 1 ending. I want each and every scene to convey a message to the viewers, to connect with them mentally, in order to raise suicide awareness.
