I have been quite ill but still made it to class for Monday. Over the weekend Tomas put together some thumbnails. While, the boards followed the beat map we had established, the characters still looked very humanoid and unremarkable in design and the shots were exclusively mid shots, lacking dynamism or any indication of pacing.
I felt a bit like a storyboard suervisor giving all these notes, but we discussed reworking the boards as a team and we came up with something a lot more interesting and engaging.
We had a storyboarding workshop which was quite engaging and I got to rework one of our initial boards. I have come to enjoy working with value studies for thumbnails and not getting too bogged down with details in the storyboard process.
