We put all of our thumbnails together and picked the best version of each frame to make our first pass of a timed storyboard.
We presented this version to Jess and while she was confident in our idea, she asked us to do another pass to unify the style and make sure the story was much clearer. She also gave us a few changes to make to keep the story consise and within the time limit.
We also spent time coming up with a logline for our story so we could bring the whole film together thematically. We came up with:
Broken and forgotten, a small doll awakens after years of loneliness in an attic and desperately tries to put her fractured self back together, accompanied only by her memories of a better time.
On Wednesday Saf and Amelia began a second pass of the boards while Aki and I Worked on design. She tested out color palettes while I began a turnaround for our doll so that we had a consistent design to work from. Ian worked on music for the film.
We began Friday’s session putting together the new timed storyboard and Ian also sent us a clip of music he composed for the film. We had applied most of the changes but kept our initial idea for the ending as we believed it would be the most impactful for our story, as the doll repeatedly tries to put her arm back on in one slowly zooming shot.
We then presented our final version to Jane as well as Jess and Mariana who gave us the final greenlight for our project, as it was a lot clearer in the second pass. o(≧∇≦o)
