Gabby and I have finished our story board! it took us a while but I think we did a great job. This is three pages of our story board including scenes 1-18
A few changes heve been made to mine and Gabby's story board as we have changed the number of girls from 4 to 3 becuase Mr Powell said it might take to long to finish the short film if we do to many people. This is because we will have to do about 100 or mores scenes for each person. =)
Gabby and I have decided on our story! We are slightly going to base it on the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. They are going to stay in touch by writing letters to each other. The movie is about 2-3 friends who go in different directions. We are going to use animation-ish when the friends are reading the letter so we can see what is happening in animation like she is seeing it all happen in her head. In the istopmotion parts we will be filming our cast. I am really excited to see how it turns out!! :) :)
Person 1 is going on exchange to Europe (France/Paris). My sister Aakanksha Bose will playing her on stopmotion. She is going to a school in France and she feels like she doesn't fit in. Her solution she starts to picking up french and people start to become her friends and teaches her french.
Person 2: Is a sporty person she loves basketball and is very clumsy. Allison Paxton-Hall will be playing this part. She goes to a Basketball camp and breaks her arm. In the end since she can't play basketball for around 6 weeks so she becomes the teams coach.
Person 3: Wants to be a Fashion Designer and gets an internship with the designers of Valley Girl. Emma Whittle is playing this part. She ends up losing her job as she changes a famous designers dress. Someone sees her designs and likes them and offers her a job at Guess as their new designer.
Person 4: She got accepted into Julliard, she has to compose a piece for her band to play at the Julliard music competition. Jamie Crowe is playing this part. In the end someone steals her sheet music. Someone else steels her song and makes it more up beat. Then she writes a better song and she wins the competition.
We will be using some extra people for the scenes as well.
I was planning to make a short istop motion film for my Assignment, but last lesson Mr Powell told us we could work in pairs so i decided to work with Gabby and do one big film.Our idea is to make and animated and istop motion film to show both the skills we have learnt. Our basic story line is a little bit like the sister hood of the traveling pants movie but we are changing a few things. What happens is the friends stay in touch by writing letters over a school term. In Animation-ish we would see what was written in the letters, by acting out what they wrote. We would need around four to five people.
The First Person:
She Would be on exchange
The Second Person:
Sports Camp For Basketball?
Third Person:
She is a Fashion Designer
Working as an intern
Fourth Person:
Will be going to Music School
Julliard?
or she right be Auditioning for a roll for a movie.
Beginning stay together, then separate. In the end they come back together to spend summer holidays together.
For this short film i used my istop motion skills. What i did was write a letter take a picture, then i would write another letter and then line it up using the onion skin and then take another picture and so on. I hope you Like it i made this film with Gabi S.
Today I started to make my first stopmotion film. I did the escaping pencil case. What we had to do is move the objects slowly out of the pencil case each time and click the space bar to take the photo! Once you have finished you play it back and it becomes a short film!! :) :)
On Advance-ish in Animation-ish i learnt how to make a man walk across the screen. What i did was get my animation of my walking man and made it move by using an icon called transform and keyframes. I hope you like my working man!!
This is the same animation as my second film but i have added sound effects. I did this by adding it into garage band and picked a sound effect from their library and added it to my film.
