Well it's been a heck of a year, and out of all the courses beefed up in homework for second year, Storyboard is probably the biggest change. We went from drawing storyboard panel freeze frames from movies in Year 1, with a couple of tests here and there, to creating our own character lineups, simple background layouts and stories in Year 2. We do it all traditionally: draw up the beat boards on storyboard cards, pitch them to our prof and class, and then after revisions and edits are suggested and made, we return a week later with a set of rough boards. Rinse repeat, and there's a final product at the end which is hopefully entertaining, visually correct in terms of storytelling and character acting, and in most cases funny as hell :D
Again after all the rambling, I give you Storyboarding, one of my favorites this year.
Our first project was to create beat boards for two poems
Hector Protector and After a Bath
Characters had to be original. You'd be surprised at how one poem can be interpreted many different ways. It's quite astounding

After the beat board pitches, we had to pick one poem and continue on to create a full story board with up to 40 panels. I seem to have misplaced the files for this project and will update them as soon as I find them.
This is assignment 2 through the whole same process from beat boards to final boards. This is based off of the phrase given in class "Not Again!"
And the Final Boards, which will next week be turned into a Leica Reel with scratchtrack and sounds effects.
