Final Film - Presenting our Plan

Our course leader says that the concept sounds fine, but length is something to consider. This means tightening up my storyboard a little and seeing how it all comes together in the animatic. How can I frame things and convey information in a way that requires fewer cuts?

I will revisit the storyboard and trim things. There are certainly areas where it seems a little fluffy. I'm also getting Kate more involved in the storyboarding process as the shot framing will inform how she designs the stop motion sets. Besides, it's good to get a second pair of eyes on things so I don't go MENTAL.

We've been looking at a few practitioners to discern the art style. We love the handmade look of these cardboard things, with the small details.

I enjoy these designs but feel we should incorporate more colour to show the contrast between the two cafés, such as in Jay Stelling's work.

This makes good use of the stop-motion medium, and is vibrant. We will build the sets quite large so we can seperate the walls, shoot from inside it and have enough detail on close ups.
