I was abit worried for my beginning scene where the words would fly like balloons and fade out. Worried because I wasn't good in technical stuffs and I wasn't confident. So at first, I approached Raj but he too said he wasn't sure. There he was, a kind soul Alan. He taught me in After Effects how to make the words fly like balloons and helped me to get some balloon fonts. Oh he used an effect wiggle something to make the balloon words wiggle natural.
It was so much easier after i saw him doing it. I was more confident now. Just have to do it now.
Thanks ALOT Alan!!
I also seek help from Amanda whether my characters were alright and if my storyboards could tell the story.
She gave me her honest feedback that my character didn't have much appeal. So I was determined to make it look more appealing. I tried drawing it with some reference; mix and match some faces and finally got a character which my classmates said were cute.
-Thanks for the feedback.
So here is the sketches:
I also had to edit Sam to give him the style that he was in the same animation as the priest.
Now here goes my storyboard. I showed Amanda my storyboard and she suggested that it would be better if the priest took a map instead of using a complicated GPS. Since I am promoting the GPS, it would be more clear if the priest was traditional, using a map and he should go for the latest invention instead. Indeed, after hearing this I too really like the idea which I will have to discuss this with Alan tomorrow whether he will approve of it. Oh.. since the priest is not using the GPS anymore, my dialogue may have to change.
The priest would look very confident with the map in his hands. It is when the wind changes; he starts to panic and calls the operator. He opens his map and was desperate to finding his own location.
Altered Dialogue:
When Priest is taking off
Priest:" Take care people. Don't worry I have the map."
Shakes map vigorously.
Priest calls operator
Priest: Anybody there? Please rescue me. The wind direction has changed. I'm going to be blown away.
Operator: Calm down tell me where you are.
Priest: Oh my lucky map.
Priest opens map in mid air
Priest:" Wah!! Holy smoke!! Where am I ? I cant find it. The map is too big.
Operator:"Open your eyes wider"
Priest:" Ahhh.."
Operator:" Hello... helloo.. toot tooot tooot"
Phone lost reception.
With this, I hope my storytelling would be better. Now I just have to add and subtract and experiment some angles.
Gosh~!!
Hope my message will come across.
I will still have to include the helicopters. But this time round I need not cut into the close up of the helicopter. I will still work on it though.
Cheers to myself
