Hello all,

This is the home stretch, the last hurrah, just one more push to the end! We are finishing everything this week including our storyboard project and the prop design to go along with it.

Here’s what’s expected for homework this week:

Final Storyboards on two pages - pen/marker, gray tone
Prop Final Drawing - pen
Clean Floor Plan of scene (if not done)
Re-do any homework

For the final boards, we will review the refined pencil boards and make any last changes. We continue to ask ourselves the three questions: Does the shot tell us what is happening in the script? Is the character blocking working? Is the scale correct?

Feel free to use ballpoint pen, black pencil, marker, etc. just no pencil. You can use gray tone marker to add local values or lighting but it should enhance and not confuse your drawing.

Make sure your handwriting looks nice, number your boards, and don’t forget to put the movie title and your name on the pages.

For the prop final drawing, we will be making an ortho/grid template. This part you can use rulers.

Because of every person’s prop being so wildly different, we will approach it from what we know about building sections from XYZ shapes and building boxes and shapes from the treasure chest project.

See following images for tips on drawing wheels, rotated panels, and dividing circles.

Have a nice rest of the week and see you Week 14! You can do it!
