So Elliot asked for help with his storyboard because he knows how much I love storyboarding, and he didn't want to spend time recreating his previous ones in maya when what he enjoys is making the sets, so I agreed to help out because one of my favourite things is bouncing ideas back and forth about shot set ups, and I find it's easiest to do this when a person is really enthused about a project. So we discussed a lot his current shots and how we could use third's and so on to make them better. We spent a few hours discussing each shot in detail and the most concise way to tell the narrative through it, and how we could save him time by him doing certain shots that he could repeat. I'd like to think I gave several suggestions that improved his animation but I think the main ones include that of the glass bottles on the shelf with creepy liquid (possible body parts in) and how he could make his life easier if he planned how he was going to film the machine in the second room better. After this I made me him and becky tea and they went home and left me to make the storyboard.
Panel 1:
Close up of cow eating food
Mirrors the very last shot of the animation, so it could loop you could film it once and use the longer version for the end shot.
Panel 2: Another angle possibility to pan round this shot.
Panel 3:
Possible shot of floor level of fire place. Ideas for fire, include putting wood in and doing the flames in post, or just making three sets of flames and alternating them every time.
Panel 4:
A zoom out of the previous shot. Fades to black here, dramatic, oo.
Panel 5:
Side shot of the cow entering machine room, pulls lever, lever noises insert here.
Question: Does this shot fade from black or cut straight to it?
Panel 6:
Tracking shot of the machine at a stand still
Panel 7:
Possibilty of a bird's eye view
Panel 8:
Close up of Furnace, from here fades to black again.
But here we did talk about the possibility of the food moving along the final part of the conveyor belt and through the the next room but you were unsure of how the mechanisms would work. We considered several options.
Close up of the steak falling from the chute and then it zooms out to the position of the first shot and the cow gobbles it up.
Shot 10:
Live action of meat for credits.
