Visual Response: Storyboard

Based on the animations I have decided to show within my presentation, this leaves me with 14 animations in total to present within my presentation, ultimately giving me approximately 2 seconds for each animation to make some kind of appearance. I'm not sure if this will be long enough at this moment and I need to experiment with how this will look and whether or not it's enough time for my message to be clear to those viewing it, but I'll deal with that later on.

Thinking about which method I want to use to animate my presentation I instantly thought about using 3D cameras within After Effects, as I have recently learnt how to use this technique and I feel that it would a really good technique to use for this task because it will allow me to pan through the many different animations I have chosen with ease.

I have also been thinking about how to make it obvious that I'm trying to point out racial representation within each animation, so I have decided to select certain characters from each animation to represent that animation and the general racial status of the entire film. For instance in Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs all the characters are racially incorrect, so I will attempt to create an asset that contains the majority of these characters to imply that there are a number of racially stereotypical characters within the animation. Whereas, in The Lion King the main problem within that animation is the hyenas, so I will simply take those characters and present them. I also feel that some text to state which animation the characters are from and what year will also help to showcase my ideas more coherently.



Based on my idea I have created a very basic storyboard to get an idea of how the animation will work and how I actually want my camera to move. However, I don't think I am going to create an animatic, as I feel that I would benefit more from just experimenting with animating it straight up. This way I know if the timing is okay and if not I can just remove some of the assets and adjust the camera movements.

I need to create my assets now so i can start animating.
