Final Project - Part 2


1) 3rd person POV, camera angle a little higher than at eye level, camera held landscape, wide view
- setting: table (maybe the study room - 7th floor)
- hands and upper part of body in camera view setting up the Danbos (several photos - close time for smooth animation) - just hands moving Danbos (not animated yet)
- need: Danbos, camera, another person to take the photos
- complete photos by: Thanksgiving

2) 3rd person POV, same camera angles
- create background on illustrator (boat/sky/water/fishing poles) - fall into place

3) 3rd person POV, same camera angles
- Danbos start moving - (left one) looking over at rod two times with excited expression (Photoshop expression) - (right one) expression relaxed (Photoshop expression)
- right Danbo pulls up a fish - reeling motion (need: photo of goldfish - photoshopped or illustrator fish) - happy expression
- right Danbo pulls up three more fish - left Danbo's expression getting more worried (looking over more)
- left Danbo's fishing rod moves - expression shocked

4) POV of left Danbo looking over at water - just see water ripple

5) back to original 3rd person POV with same camera angles, left Danbo's rod bent - left Danbo worried expression & right Danbo shocked expression
- right Danbo tries to help - rod flies out of left Danbo's hands

6) close up of left Danbo's sad face

7) back to original camera angles, a little closer, right Danbo gives left Danbo two fish (goldfish?) - happy expressions

8) Danbos holding up 'The End' sign (illustrator) - happy expressions

9) Thanks for watching - credits

Final Project - Part 1

I'm going to set up Danbos (dolls) on a table, then after my hands are gone, the animation will start and they will "come to life." With a background and boat created in Illustrator, it will slide onto the screen and they will be fishing. The fishing pole's movement will be created in Illustrator as well, and I will use goldfish as the "fish" that they catch.
