This is the storyboard for my final fairytale piece.
i am doing King Arthur.
There are 6 scenes within my future animation and i am hoping for it to last around one minuite possibly a minuite and a half.
i drew stickmen to save time even though it took me all morning.
The set for thos animation will take place within a carboard box.

Vincent critique


I think this animation could have used stop motion and Claymation because of the movement and the backgrounds
The story was about a seven year old boy who was very troubled, and thought he was someone else, after being grounded couldn’t leave his house.
Yes he did. I found the clip to be effective, because the narration was very ear catching, because it was meant to.
I do not think there were any visible weaknesses, I don’t know how it could be improved I think it was good enough.
P- the script was very effective.
N- even being a dark story I feel the video its self could have been lighter.
P- the visual animation was very clear and well done. It looks like they have put a lot of time and effort into the project.

Character biography

Film: Kingdom Of Heaven
Actor: Orlando Bloom
Character: Bailian of Ibelin
Quote: “What man is a man who does not make the world a better place.”
 “How can you be in hell when you’re in my heart?”
Why they’re my favourite: The dedication to the characters cause was extremely impressive with the emotion in his eyes through out the film. The way the character was portrayed by actor was amazing easy to connect to and he made it simple to understand how he was feeling as you went through the film. Also the characters heroic personality and pure desire to help humanity and do good anyway possible was inspiring. The character based on a real historic figure can be hard to play but Orlando really did Bailian justice and showed how he lived with honour and valour.
Finest hour: Ending the battle for Jerusalem and agreeing on the term of surrender for the lives of his soldiers and civilians.

South park reveiw

The show's style of animation is inspired by paper cut-out cartoons. the standard stop motion technique was used for the show for the pilot episode and few episodes after that until the show was taken to computer animators, giving a similar look and feel to it but only taking a fraction of the time to create. Before it is animated the artists have to draw up the storyboard which still takes a while.
the background is composed of primary shapes and colours, the child characters are the same basic shape but are distinguished by the colour of there hair or hat colour. their movement is choppy and they purposely do not have as much free movement and hand drawn characters to keeep the original south park feel to it. they are all voiced by the same by the same people and guest stars are used as photographic cut outs.
