“Fierce” Out-takes

Storyboards Are Key

Working with standard 3″x3″ sticky notes we can easily layout simple storyboards before one begins any real animation. Using a standard 8×11 sheet of paper we can easily get 6 settings drafted out and then extend the storyboard from there based on keyframes or frames-per-second settings you want to shoot your animation at… Getting your key camera angles and setting these blocked scenes helps in finalizing your story as well as starting your project right.
