Last night before going to bed I went onto Udemy and looked at a couple of courses in script writing, story boarding and animation.
I first worked through the short course in script writing. At first the program that he used was not available any more however I luckily found a quick and free alternative to it and went along and created a basic script. I also began to look at the story boarding course and downloaded the story board template ready for today.
I’m still trying to figure out the colour scheme for Forest but I’m thinking that a turquoise on the tail and arms still like the original scheme, dark yellow hair and dark skin with an orange or red hue.
Today I plan on finalising my designs for both Forest and Muddy and possibly come up with a couple of character sheets of them before beginning the story boarding process, working alongside the short course to help better my understanding of how a story board is meant to work and how it will help me better simplify the animatic process and animation process.
After watching it for a bit and opening up the template I had a go at getting down some basic ideas for the beginning of the animation as that was what I had most clear in my head.
I have also finally picked the song that I’m going to have running along side it: The Curse of the Fold by Shawn James. I feel that the story will play off it very well and it also gives off the Westernesque vibe that I want for the rest of the project.
