Today we did an AWESOME exercise where we storyboarded an entire episode of a cartoon in 22 minutes!
I hope it was a rewarding experience for all of you, and a way to practice drawing clear, easy to understand storyboards!
What you are to do for homework is this:
- Take an episode of Samurai Jack from the ones I have selected for you on the server, OR an episode from a cartoon of your choosing. (The episode must be at least 22 minutes.)
- When watching the episode, draw each shot as clearly as you can, trying to tell the story on your paper with clear images.
- You want to focus on actions and environments that you feel are KEY shots and KEY environments.
- If you were absent, I STRONGLY ADVISE you to get a copy of notes from our talks today from another student. It will help you a lot when trying this assignment on your own. Further more, any student whom was absent needs to board following episodes we did in class.
- Jack and the Ninja (S4, E1)
- Jack and the Blind Archers (S1,E7)
- Bring both a hard copy and a digital copy of your storyboards to class on Wednesday! We will talk camera techniques and storyboards with purpose on Wednesday!
The movies you need are in the STORYBOARDING SAMPLES folder on the server. In that folder is also a copy of the storyboarding sheet you need to use to do this assignment. I've included a copy of it here for download!
Print as many as you need, and try to stay within 35-50 minutes when you do this exercise. That way, if you feel like you're messing up, you can try multiple times!
HAPPY BOARDING!
