Screen Design- Story Board/Animatic

Assignment: Story Board/Animatic
Student: Mark Jenkins
Class: Principles of Screen Design-ANIM-270-03
Professor: Johannes Simon
Conditions: 15fps
Resolution: 701x480
Programs: Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Premier

The purpose of this assignment was to do an animatic of a story board (aka an animated story board). Out of 40 different scenarios, we had to choose 1, and story board it any form or fashion we wanted, just as long as it portrayed the scenario. The how and why of each scenario was up to us, as neither were necessary requirements for the assignment; we did have to have sound and music. We had no time limit or limitations in media. I chose to hand draw all the environments, character pose and everything, and scan them into photoshop. In Photoshop, I cleaned up the edges and touched up some details and organized all the different elements into groups and layers in order to be exported into After Effects. Once in After Effects, I animated everything, all the movements, camera panning, cuts, etc. I then exported the animated video file to Adobe Premier where I would add sound. And there you have it. I really-REALLY loved doing this assignment.

Thank you 

P.S. My scenario was: A security guard sits in his office amid security monitors. He appears absentminded and reaches for a chocolate bar, opens it and takes a bit- a horrible alien creature is just about to eat him.

@TehLastMuffin Thanks =D! But not to be a downer, there is no real animation going on, just moving cut outs from photoshop, but thanks anyway, I got the timing down.
