Three new pic­tures are up in the con­cepts sec­tion.  Two of them are views of the set I’m design­ing for my own short.  The last is a model sheet for one of the char­ac­ters I cre­ated for my sto­ry­board­ing class.  His name is Joey, and he’s the vic­tim of his older brother’s bul­ly­ing.  My story focuses on poor Joey being bul­lied out of his break­fast one morning.

I’m learn­ing quite a bit in this class, and I’m glad I waited before rush­ing into the plan­ning stages of my short.  The class is teach­ing me how to plan shots and show how the cam­era will move in thumb­nails and sto­ry­boards.  Both of those skills are going to be essen­tial to me telling the story effec­tively.  The final sto­ry­boards and ani­matic (where all the stills are put together with music and vocal work) will be a nice addi­tion to my port­fo­lio, too.
