Storyboarding?

 

Honestly I am a little lost as to what exactly to do for this project, but as far as concept goes, I have two ideas I am considering and collecting assets for. The first is based on a video I saw a long time ago about what actually happens during a nuclear winter. The second idea is based solely on personal research which is about what a mushroom actually is. The first might be easier to animate since I have more ideas for puppets and moving objects, while the second is going to take less research overall.

Fog Tutorial

 Original Link: https://youtu.be/dPX8zXMs7KQ




So my final product does not look as good as the tutorial, but I also know exactly why. There are 3 mistakes I made that I know to avoid in the future. The first problem is that the video has no "ground" in it, so the stationary fog on the bottom has nothing to sit on. Second of all, the camera moves, which makes the stationary fog obvious as an effect and the overlay less visible. Third of all, I thought I was clever in using rounded lines rather than straight lines first on the stationary fog, but that just ended up looking weird in general. These are all things I can avoid relatively easily in the future now that I know what I am doing.
