Background Attempt TWO

This is my second attempt using the leap frog footage. Again I have used acetate and drawn on it using a OHP pen. I have used a piece of maroon netting as my background. I really like the effect of this and there is a good chance it will be used in my final piece. I want to go over the drawings to make them darker and more pronounced. 

First Background Attempt

Here I have put together my first attempt using the acetate and a background. I created the background using a tea bag for the base and then using a paint brush to apply coffee that I had made into a paste. This needs to be redone if it is going to feature in my final video due to it being scanned from my sketchbook you can see slight bits of text. Although I don't completely hate the fact you can see text, if it was relevant to the animation maybe :)

Backgrounds...

Right...

Today I am going to start hand drawing the footage that I have collected to see if it has a better quality.

Above I have used simple tracing paper to draw key features of some of the footage. I really like the naive quality to them.

Thinking how I can transform between the round offs etc.

.

Here I have experimented with drawing the images onto acetate which would usually be used on overhead projectors. I really like the quality of this as it can be layer upon itself to create an interesting effect, the see through quality also allows for a interesting background to be place below the frames, I have experimented with wax and brown paper in the image above.

 Below I have created a series of possible backgrounds which could be used as a base behind my acetate...

MAKEUP

OIL PASTELS

COFFEE & TEA

Here I have traced the image of my sister doing a round off towards the camera...I have placed the tracings over different materials at different angles. 

Storyboarding Number TWO

Storyboard number two can be seen below, followed by the individual frames again...

No Imagery

No Imagery

I really like this storyboard and think it will be more fitting to the music and time frame allowed.

Having A Look At Storyboarding

Upon deciding my location, and theme I have completed some basic storyboarding to show some initial ideas of how the imagery could fit in with the music.

The image above shows my first attempt at storyboarding, and below you can see the individual drawings of the board.

The frame below will be hand drawn stop motion but for visual reasons its easier to show the photo version...

No Imagery Yet

I like this initial storyboard but I think I am trying to fit too much in a short amount of time.
