Storyboard Lesson

Today in class, I started working on the story board for my animation. Here is the first page of what I have so far:

My Idea

I thought of an idea! So for my animation, I think I'm going to follow the story of something along the lines of this:

So my main character will be a fish living in the great barrier reef and one night, a huge storm passes over the reef he lives in and he is separated from his family. But to make matters worse, he has lost his colour! So now he is a grey fish living in amongst all of the other colourful fish, so he becomes really upset. He decides that he can no longer go on living as a grey fish so he sets out into the world to try and regain his colour. After every place he visits he manages to regain one spec of his colour, so after he visits several places, he becomes even more colourful than he ever was before! He finally returns back to his reef and he is so colourful that nearly all the other fish seem boring with their single colours! So its a happy ending :)

I'll probably add heaps to that story line and change it around over time but that's the basic structure I think. I also might have some music playing in the background to give it more emotion for different parts of the animation.

Animations!!!

I'm so excited for this term!! In year 8, making animations was one of my work highlights for the year because I got to think of a story and then make it into an animation, which I thought was pretty cool! So when Mr Powell told us we were going to be making animations over the next 2 terms, I got really excited because having 2 terms means I can put lots of work into an animation and hopefully get a well-deserved outcome! 

I'm not too sure what I will animate at the moment, but I'm going to try and incorporate at least one other element like Photoshop or iStopmotion along with Animationish.

This term, I also want to make sure I always update my blog after every lesson we have. This is because last term I didn't always update my blog as much as I probably could have. And it won't be very fun if I put heaps of effort into my animation and not too much effort into my blog because then at the end of the project, I won't have the overall grade I was aiming for.

Happy Animationing!
