Here is the storyboard for my Bigfoot PSA. This will all make more sense when it is paired with the narration. The added image at the top of this post is the panel of the storyboard that is blank. It wasn't done when I made the PDF but it is now finished so I added it!

Final Version of Stop Motion

Here is the final version of Morning Ride!

Stop Motion Reflection

Overall I think that my stop motion project was successful. The most difficult part was the planning; figuring out how to animate the characters, how to set up the background, how to position the camera. Once I had everything ready to go, the actual shooting process wasn't that difficult. If I had to do it all over again, I would like to do it somewhere other than my room. It was a little crowded and that made things more difficult than they needed to be. I'm glad I had my brother write the music for me, I think that turned out great and matched the movie really well.

Stop Motion Movie and Process Shots

Here is a link to my video! I will embed it once it has been processed by Vimeo. This version is pretty final. I'm not sure of any changes I am going to make for Tuesday other than maybe the information at the end ( I didn't include the class name ).

Also, here are a few process shots showing the camera rigged over my working area, as well as the sheet of cutouts I used to animate the characters.

Final Storyboard for Stop Motion

Here is the final storyboard for my stop motion piece (may take a bit to load!)

Final Storyboard

I also included 2 test shots. I'm not sure how well these reflect what the aesthetic of the final piece will be. I prefer the black and white background to the color. The character will be smaller compared to the background in the final piece.

Scion xB Splicer Storyboard

Link to PDF
Here is the reverse storyboard for the Scion ad that I created using screen captures.

Note the hilarious disclaimer I noticed at the end of this ad:

"Vehicles shown are special project cars, modified with non-genuine Scion parts and accessories. Modification with these non-genuine parts will void the Scion warranty, may negatively impact vehicle performance & safety and may not be street legal."

Imaginary Forces- Scion xB Splicer

I will be using this Scion advertisement as inspiration for my first project. I've always found Scion ads to be pretty engaging as far car advertisements go, and I love the fact that they sell their cars as blank canvases for customization.
