My First Storyboard... you've been warned

So I have been debating on whether or not to post these. And decided since it was my first attempt, why not show it. Then I'll be able to track my progress, which is kind of the whole point of my blog anyway :]
The story changed a lot while I was developing it, primarily in regards to the characters personalities, relationships, and ages (as seen in these early development sketches to the right). So bare with me and this incomplete board. We had a critique last Wednesday which was REALLY helpful and made me see a lot of things I had overlooked. But these are the original boards I pitched. I did get some compliments on my sketching and pitching skills but now I need to focus on what really matters in boarding, the STORY! I have a lot to learn but it is a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to it.

*there were some technical difficulties when trying to upload these so sorry about all the individual images, I tried to make it less involved but Blogger kept shrink them so some couldn't be clicked and others you couldn't see what was going on.

Storyboarding w/ Gnass: Genre Boards

As some of you know I decided to take Storyboarding over at the Animation Guild with Karl Gnass. It's pretty groovy so far. First assignment was to pick a movie of a specific genre and board a significant scene. I didn't want to go too obvious so I went Rom Com (romantic comedy) with a Twist. That film being
Watching the detectives. One of my all time favorite movies. If you have never heard of it don't feel bad, NO one in my entire storyboarding class had either.
(Feel free to ask questions if something isn't clear!)

And in case you are curious how this was presented. Printed 8.5x14 and I totally had to pitch it! I assume it went somewhat well because everyone was laughing and some people even sounded interested in checking out the movie. And yes I did act out the voices! :]

Oh and the next set of boards will be all my doing, setting up shots and story points. BEWARE it's coming!
