Pre-Planning Documents

Storyboard
 

Order of seasons and sequence.


 
 
Moodboards
 
These are the ideas i had for each of the seasons and what would represent them the best.
 
 



Techniques I will use in my work
 
I am hoping to make good use of the 3d space by creating different layers and enhancing the space between them.
 
For the background, I am going to make a sky with clouds made in After Effects.

The sky will change from dark to bright as the seasons change.

I am looking to use expressions which I can add to a layer which will simply save me time key framing each move.
  • It will be used to make the butterflies wings flap.
  • It will be used when the daffodils form a circle and rotate.
  • It will be used when the dandelions fly away.
  • It will be used as the candles burn to create a flickering effect.
Expressions will be used on the small details to make everything look more realistic.
 
I have been looking at how to create a glow effect for the candle scene to make it realistic. I have been practising how to create a yellow glow from the candle flame.
 
I have been looking at how to create realistic rain and snow. With practice, I hope this can make the different seasons look more realistic.

I shall be using motion sketch to draw a path for the umbrella to follow in the spring season.

Flocking will be used to make the butterfly wings flap

I want to use the shatter effect for the summer title and the sun. As it shatters, behind is the next scene, therefore the shatter effect will be used as a transition.

Light glow will be used for the candles burning. It shall create a realistic glow from the flames.

The fractal noise effects will help me create realistic looking water and puddles; this is why I chose to teach this in the Motion Graphics lab.

I am hoping to use interesting transitions between the scenes such as the umbrella floating and the shatter effect. I am also looking into masks which can be used for transitions as we learnt in one of our labs.
