Story of One Crime & Hedgehog in the Fog

Image
For the S tory of One Crime , I really liked the scene where they show the characters waiting at the train station and instead of showing them getting on, they were fit into the frame of the train. I thought it was clever and shows so much in such little effort. For Hedgehog in the Fog, I liked the part when hedgehog is looking for his raspberry jam and uses a stick with a firefly at the end of it as a flashlight. We don't know it's a firefly until another firefly comes and they fly away together. It shows such a great use of his surroundings also subtle humor.

Understanding Comics

What I liked about this page was how well the images matched with what he was explaining. For example, when he talked about how people explain comic books to narrowly and draws himself squished between walls. And vice versa, when he talks broader terms. It makes it so much more appealing when the images are  consistent  with the storyline.   

Story boarding of The Nightmare Before Christmas

A part in the making of The Nightmare Before Christmas that struck me most was the storyboarding. When they were making the film they were going off drawn pictures and a storyline by Tim Burton. To actually bring the story and stop motion movie to life they had to map and storyboard it before they even started animating. They drew images of every scene/frame, every action, every facial expression, every camera shot, and angle. The storyboard was their visual script of how everything should look and what comes next. I feel like the storyboarding was their road map for the entire movie.
