Storyboard Work

I have decided to make up the storyboard using green screen shots and turning them into silhouettes, for the backgrounds I will draw them in and add the appropriate text.

Further update and tracking

We have had an obstical thrown at us as Topshop will not grant us access to film in their store but we are thinking of ways to work our way around this, through photo manipulation and perhaps filming in a smaller independant store we will get around it.

Green screen work from Friday came in terms of working with tracking. It was useful as it made it clear to me the movements the characters can make etc combined with lighting and colour.

Here is an example:

Ahead of our next presentation to NCR, I will be making a full storyboard for the advert. I plan to make it to a high standard so that I can submit it as a document in May. The next week (following my crit presentation tomorrow) will be devoted to this. I aim to uodate this blog with research and development.

Style

We have decided that instead of using speech within the advert we will use graphics to display the actions on the app/panels/ between characters.
We are getting help from Jonny Harris, who made the graphics for the following show with Kevin Bridges. We hope to achieve something similar.

We have met with Jonny ahead of our green screen meeting this week and have learnt how to do some simple tracking, I hope to utilise this tomorrow before we meet with him again next week.
