Storyboard and purpose Animatics are are storyboard in a timeline. A storyboard should give the team an idea for a the story and the timing. It also gives a production team an idea for what emotion the characters should be feeling or what the audience should feel. It is also cheaper to produce.

We started with a task to make a storyboard. I was really struggling with coming up with a story but i dint want to use any of the prompts. I ended up using my dungeons and dragon campaign as a jumping off point but due to it being to convoluted and having to many characters i had to scrap the idea. I was struggling to draw the people in fast and simplified way which spilled into the clarity and the staging of my scenes as i was limiting my shots to have an easier time drawing them. To fix this I went to a life drawing class focused on gesture and started reading Professional Storyboarding: rule of thumbs but Sergio Paez and Anson Jew. This really helped me understand what to doing but i really need a lot of practice to improve. I simplified the story to have to have 2 main characters and to be a zombie apocalypse.

i spent some extra time working on that completing my first draft of my animatic with the goal of completing the animatics for week 2.
