STORY PROJECT TWO
Our project demonstrates a collaboration of pre-production work. Jennifer and I presented ideas and took note of direction our story would be going. Jennifer wrote the script and beat sheet and I drew the beat boards, story board, and animatic. I formulated the pitch during our process and even though my partner was sick most of the time we completed each assignment.
This short is about an underdog goat who was brought up as a dog but when he got too big he was left with his own kind. The day the protagonist arrived to the goat farm he was already isolated because of his strange behavior and that caught the attention of one big bully goat. What was thought to be the end for the protagonist became a win for just being who he was.
ANIMATIC
At the beginning of the short there is a abrupt playing and I couldn't figure out the reason, but that is one issue that I have with this animatic. I was satisfied with all of the sfx I chose and the music choice wasn't a bad fit. I had a hard time finding the type of background music to fit for our short and to follow the change of plot in the story, that is why I had a bit of a black out for a couple of seconds to help the audience transition to a new pace of music. The second music I chose was to make the scenes more climatic when I introduced the antagonist of the story. Another problem I had was the quality of the images are much smaller because when I imported my images into premier the size came out too big for the screen. I went into premier and sized them down and I was left with these results.
STORY BOARD
All panels were drawn by myself and I had used the same type of drawing style and mediums from my last project to make my scenes. I was told that I needed more detail, but I had asked other students and TA's for their opinion and they felt that my panels depcited the right amount of emotions and didn't need much changing, so I ended up not taking Jen's advice and left it as it is.
SCRIPT
Jennifer wrote the script and I just helped her develop our story line and log line.

STORY PROJECT ONE
This project demonstrates the process of pre-production. A collection of work such as script, beat board, story board, and animatic to carry out my story. I had to learn how to create and pitch a story and improve my work through constant feedback.
My short is about a lonely candle flame looking to fill the void in his heart. Until one night a human places a fish bowl next to the candle flame where he falls in love with a bubble girl. But, a evil fish gets in the way of their love and the candle flame has to find a way to reunite with the bubble girl.
ANIMATIC
Finding sfx is much harder than I thought. I would have used more, but the search for free sfx is not an easy journey. I used an upbeat song to fill in the space. I didn't want to use an English song because it might distract the audience aka students in my class. I had multiple people watch it before submission and heard great feedback about my song choice. Even without a ton of sfx the song helps the beats of the story.
STORYBOARD
Had little problems with my storyboard and continued to follow through with my animatic.
SCRIPT
My issue with the script was not turning it on time with the first submission. But, I already know how to right a script so no problems developing the story or formatting.
