Reflective Statement

Over the course of the project it had become clear that it was a jump from the previous one. It was definitely stressful and part of that was due to my project management skills. There a few days during the project where not enough work was done which in the end all added up. However, this has been beneficial in improving my knowledge of Premier Pro and After Effects which will be helpful in future projects. This has also given me a better understanding of the processes behind making a story and the steps leading up to an animation. Overall, as stressful as this project has been, it's definitely been a learning curve. I would like to be more on top of things for the next project and after seeing the BlueZoo talk there isn't much of an excuse to not do well considering previous students like Leo had less time and older software.

@Phil Previz Intro Test

FSTS - Intro Scene Test

This is a test to see how the into to my Previz will look. I still need to edit the last newspaper, so that it can transition from the newspapers to the current crime scene.

@Phil FSTS Edited Overall Storyboard

I went back and drew in the new character designs to the rest of the scenes excluding the beginning and the end. This doesn't look as good as I wanted but I didn't want to waste too much time on it. It still communicates what I want it to and also incorporates the new designs like I want them to. However, I didn't include different camera shots like Phil suggested because I'm still working out how to make exciting shots in the chase scene etc.

FSTS - Edited Storyboard Ending

After the last panel there would be one where the killer is dead on the ground and then one or maybe a few more similar to the beginning, announcing he is dead.

FSTS - More villain Redesigns

2 and 5 seem to be the ones that are working the most. However, overall I think 2 works best with the Detectives new design.

@Phil FSTS - Environment Concepts

I came up with different environments for where this story will take place. I tried to make these look Gothic and also used German Expressionism as influence.

FSTS - Edited Storyboard Beginning

After my feedback I got, I tried to establish the previous murders committed which would then lead to the current crime scene.
