Developed Storyboard: this is my more detailed and defined storyboard for the stop motion chess project. Now that I have a more technical understanding on stop motion and how to shoot it on Dragon Frame I was able to make more informed decisions on how to structure the narrative and how to frame each shot. This storyboard has a detailed breakdown of the editing and effects I want in each scene and how I’ll make them, digital or analogue.
Inspiration of visuals/cinematography: these are 3 YouTube channels I have been looking at for inspiration and tips. ‘Every Frame a Painting’ is good for researching cinematography as they have videos on using audio, shooting action sequences, framing fight scenes. ‘Brickology’ and ‘PaperMrio’ are good for inspiration on how to shoot short stop motion film with a fun and colourful style. They also provide technical advice on how to frame and set up scenes.
Now that I’ve got my detailed storyboard that I’m happy with and have done lots of research I am ready to book some time in the stop motion studio to actually shoot the scenes for the final video.
