Feed back of last week’s assignment:
1.Pay attention to the position of the character in the camera and do not mislead the audience.
2.Pay attention to the composition,and try to place the character on the golden dividing.
3.In the end, both yuelao and Cupid are hit by arrows, and their reactions should be a little more obvious.
Creating early stages of storyboards
This week’s lesson was about initial storyboarding, with a couple of examples to show me the usefulness of an ESTABLISHING SHOT and how to create my own ESTABLISHING SHOT.Then we learned some camera language and the teacher demonstrated how to briefly and efficiently create our own dynamic storyboards in Maya.
Here are some of my class notes:

This week’s assignment is to create a full dynamic storyboard of an IDEA in maya

I started by replacing yuelao with a cylinder and cupid with a sphere in maya. Built a simple scene and created a preview animation to show the placement and duration of each shot.
After editing I realized that just replacing the characters with geometric whites doesn’t show the movement and emotions of the characters. So I exported the preview to callipeg and drew a simple sketch to represent the character’s expression and movement.
