Week 1
We watched a dvd of a guy drawing dinosaurs to learn about thumbnailing. we also watched some other guy do Sci FI thumbnailing but it was more about blocking in shapes in the thumbnail where as the dinosaur one was about gesture. Both Prepared us for the thumbnailing exersise given to us which was to thumbnail possible designs for an inn in a provided Grimms fairy tale.
Week 2
We went through the thumbnails we did the week before. I needed to work on my verticals but the angles i used were apparently good. We watched a video of a guy painting but it diddnt have much to teach.
Week 3
We learned about breaking down scripts using colours for different aspects of the script. we also were given a script and had to do thumbnail to establish the scene, keeping compostion in mind.
Week 4
We Looked at Pre Production elements of King Kong and Hellboy. the hellboy one was more useful as it compared the animatic and storyboards to the final product. The king kong one was interesting to see the 3d animatic, which gave the acters a better idea of what to do. We also went over the script for the assignment and went through some thumbnails for it.
