Homework for Wed 1/23/17: An Introduction to Storyboard Pro!

For Wednesday, flesh out one of your stories in Storyboard Pro!  Export an animatic for the beginning of class! We will watch everyone's animatics at the beginning of next class! Please bring your 12 original panels to view in addition to your animatic!

A. Bring your other two stories to class Wednesday. We will use the other stories you created for our next exercise: "Principles of Storytelling!"  Think of this question:  "How do we make a story better?"

B. Click this Link to View a Video Tutorial for Storyboard Pro! You need your MCA email address to access.

C. Read Chapter 1 of Framed Ink! It serves as a really good prelude to the way we will approach storytelling this semester!

Note: Below is a list of hotkeys for Storyboard Pro!

RECAP OF TODAY
---------------------

In class, we looked at everyone's stories, while making sure they meet three basic standards of our first storytelling exercise:

1) Is it interesting? (To make this question objective, does it generate interest by having the character end up in a position, place, or state of being that is different from where it began?)

2) Camera: Is the story in a single camera angle and single camera shot to push the acting ability?

3) Story: Is the problem solved by story's end?

After this, we had a review of storyboard pro, where we recapped how to take the storyboards you created via index cards, import them into Storyboard Pro, and draw over them to continue fleshing out your story!


As always, please remember to contact your classmates for additional information concerning any classes you miss, and any information. I am available via email for any additional questions!  =Dmshaw@mca.edu
