Storyboard (Animation 2 Part 2)

STORYBOARD






Pre-Production (Graphics Design 2 Part 2)

Pre-Production (Graphics Design 2 Part 2)

After deciding the final sketch to make, the progress is to find the material needed for the project. The initial preparation was to find, wooden materials which are thin and flat, however after some time of looking around, I've failed to find any sort of wooden material that fits my needs there are wooden material but the shape and physical form of the material is not to my needs.

Therefore as an alternative solution, I decided to make the project from hard cardboard as a substitute to the original project, although it will not be as sturdy as the original plan, this project now is considered as a prototype making.

The final product will be 90% as similar to the original planned project is terms of design and size the only point that it is different would be the materials used in the project.

3.      Apply the concept and project on Mantin town animation

Aim
To create awareness of road safety to the town people of Mantin and the consequences of road safety ignorance



Method

Experimentation (Animation 2 Part 2)

Before I start with the animation an experiment of method needs to be done, in this experiment I used rotoscoping digitally

Capturing a video using my phone I then changed the the video into frames



Using AI Illustrator tracing the movements using the frames I recreated the video



Similar to rotoscoping but instead of a lightbox here I used digitally traced rotoscoping

Sequence/Storyline
Opening sequence would be Tin man appearing and introducing himself, and then a kid trying to cross a road. Tin man saw this and moves towards him and starts to teach him how to cross the road the proper way. Showing him to look left and right for cars before crossing and use the traffic lights and zebra crossings. Then he move on to the driver that is coming up the road during that time and tells him things that what would have happened if he ignores the road safety and shows the consequences. Finally he goes up to both of them and tells them the moral of the story
