JOSH: Hi.
It's Josh here again.
And what happened today for animation storyboarding
was really awesome.
Josh and his team gave really interesting points
on how we should do our storyboarding.
And one of the main takeaways I got from it
is that storyboarding is, yet again, one
of the main parts of the iterative process,
where you just keep going on and on,
and you keep improving on your script.
So even though you might think that you
have the perfect script, but when
combined with the visual elements
and using a storyboard, you can start
to see how things will look like onscreen, even before you
start filming.
And that is quite modern.
And I guess sometimes in some of my concepts
I would find that there will be times where I have topics
or I have things that I would find
it difficult to put on camera.
But if I had to draw it out, it'd be easier.
Or if there was some way to show it through animation,
it would be better.
And I guess that applies for most
of the concepts that are very conceptual in nature
and very abstract in nature, but not very physical,
something like an algorithm or a software concept.
I guess this is something that is probably not
physical in nature.
So it will be perfect to actually use animation.
But that being said, I'm quite concerned
about to what degree the animation needs to be.
And so I saw what Elizabeth showed us
on how she used very simple animations.
And they were drawn by hand.
I thought that that was very effective.
And That's probably the way it could possibly go.
I really liked the fact that they
had a way of arranging the shots, narration, endnotes
in the same Excel file, as kind of like a template
to go through.
I'm also quite fascinated by the idea
that we have to keep thinking of unique ways
to make the script better.
There will be times when you draw a certain storyboard
for a particular line, and you will realize after a while
that the line isn't important, especially when you
find it super hard to fit a storyboard that
would make sense with the rest of the storyboards.
And I found some of his advice on 150 words per minute
really works.
If you want to write a script, then you
will roughly be able to know how long it will take as well.
So yeah, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow,
when we talk about more of the traditional camera angles
and camera shots.
And I'm looking forward to that and looking forward
to the traditional concepts of filmmaking.
All right.
See you tomorrow.
