Silent Movie - Keyframe Workshop [3]

These are the storyboards I created in response to Lorraine's workshop. We were required to create 5 storyboards based on one word which used a minimum of 5 key frames. A 5 second motion video does not necessarily have 5 frames each at 1 second intervals therefore we had to devise a way of communicating idea across several. 

With some of my ideas, however, I had to incorporate some tweening frames to show how the type is formed (in sequence 2, for example). We also had to incorporate the 'Title Safe' guides in order to ensure our content fit within the frame.

Outcomes

(1) Thread/string which forms the word, 'spin', slowly unravels and becomes a stretched/tightened piece of string. 

(2) Spinning yarn/wool enters into the frame from behind the viewer (adding an interesting depth of field). This enters at a fast pace and begins to form the word, 'spin'. The speed decreases until the word has formed and then starts to leave the frame in the upper right hand corner.






(3) Letters appearing from 'behind' the viewer, reducing in scale as they spin independently.

(4) Sans serf type forming additional cursive characteristics. This is slow to begin with but suddenly increases in speed towards the last second or so of the sequence. The curls immediately fill up the frame, almost out of of control. 

(5) Lower case sans-serif type is set small, in the centre of the frame. Individual letters begin to rotate and enlarge towards the viewer - these vary across the sequence.
