P3 Storyboards

Here are my storyboards for project 3. I am playing on the idea of time, since it is a time-based class. It begins with the sound of a ticking watch. Then a pocket watch soars across the screen in a hypnotic motion. After the titles have gone across the screen, it will appear as though the viewer is falling asleep. Then an alarm sounds and they wake up in a dream...

A Stroke of Insight

My friend posted a link to this TED talk and I think everyone must see it. Very inspirational, and ties in with the content of Liisa'a video. Check it out...

Bjork

So in case you didn't know: Bjork is really cool, and so are her videos. Here are a couple of my favourties.

"All is Full of Love"



"Pagan Poetry"



Those are only two of many. I would post more but I'll leave the rest up to you to explore.

Here is the final 10 second leader! I changed my original idea to one that was a bit less of a "literal" story. I wanted to use contrasts between size and colour to make the video interesting to watch. To achieve this, I used bold, black, stenciled numbers with colourful splatters of paint being thrown ontop of them. The video is supposed to show a Jackson Pollock painted being created, with an actual painting shown at the end (well not an actual one, but a Pollock a la Mark, if you will).

Title: "10 Second Pollock"

Overview: The video begins with the title on a white background. Then music from Mozart's "The Magic Flute" (Die Zauberflote) begins and upon the first dramatic beat a red splat shoots across the title. The number 10 then appears in the screen and a splatter of paint shoots across it. The video continues to countdown to three, with a different splatter on each number. Then after a two second blackout a Pollock painting is revealed to the viewer.

Goals/Objectives: My primary goal for this project was to learn how to use Final Cut Pro so that I will be better equipped for the other projects to come. I also wanted to be able to create a decent stop-frame animation, that isn't too jumpy.

ANYWAYS, here it is. This is my first attempt at Final Cut, or any sort of time based project for that matter. I was pleased with the results, but i still have A LOT to learn. Enjoy.



OH, and some process photos, cause that's always fun..

10 Second Leader: Storyboards

OK, here is the first of two storyboards that I had come up with for the 10 second leader.

Title: "10 Second Message"

Overview: This leader begins with a received text message. The message would be something shocking and make the viewer want to know what came before it. The phone would then close and the minutes would begin to countdown. After the two second black out, the original message will be revealed to the viewer.















This is the second of the storyboards.

Title: "10 Second Mischief"

Overview: This leader would begin with a cat wearing the number 10 standing on one of many platforms in the shot. As the numbers counted down the cat would be seen on a different platform, slowly inching towards the flower pot at the opposite side of the scene. During the blackout the viewers would hear a shattering noise. The leader would end with a broken flower pot and the cat standing at the opposite side of the shot once again... Mischievous little things.
