A Couple Snippets From A Presentation I Gave At School This Past Week On Storyboarding!!

Title card reading: [Storyboarding Basics. Brought to you by NU Animation Club, March 23 2023]. There is a chibi drawing of Feeb drawing on a CINTIQ
Types of shots: Distance from the camera  Close shot: intimacy, emphasis on charater emotion. Example is a close up shot of Gandalf’s face from Fellowship of the Ring.  Long shot: grandiose, emphasis on location. Example is a long shot of Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn arriving at Rohan, visible on a hill in the distance, from the Two Towers.  Note: never start with a close shot. Start with as much location as possible to set the stage for your audience
Rule of thirds: Divide the screen into thirds horizontally and vertically. Try and keep focal points (like eyes) where the lines intersect!  Incorrect example shows Araluna from Archmage Ascending with her eyes below the top third horizontal line.  Correct example shows Araluna from Archmage Ascending with her eyes on the top third horizontal line.
Don’t cut characters off: make sure not to cut off a shot at the characters’ joints. Be especially careful of knees, elbows, hips.  Incorrect example shows a shot of Power and Denji posing for the camera. The left side of the frame cuts off at Power’s wrist. The bottom of the frame cuts off at Denji’s ankles.   Correct example shows a shot of Power and Denji posing for the camera. The left side of the frame cuts off at Power’s forearm. The bottom of the frame cuts off at Denji’s calves.
What is “shorthand”?  Shorthand: a very simplified art style for storybordd that prioritized shape  Do: include shape, size, expression  Do not: include detail  Example is an image of Ryuk from Death Note besides a shorthand drawing of him to scale.  These are NOT illustrations / lineart, they are GUIDES!
Perspective & Gridlines: It is NECESSARY to include gridlines to make your perspective clear for the background artist.   An incorrect example shows Araluna falling on a blank background.  Three correct examples show the same image with gridlines in the background. One shows the gridline as a flat ground. The other shows the gridlone a slanted background in fish eye perspective. The last shows the gridline as a receding wall parallel to the character.
Perspective cheat code: No matter how close characters* are to the camera, the horizontal line will always cross them at the same part of their body.  * must be the same height  Incorrect example shows the horizon line cross Dokja Kim at his shoulders and Junghyeok Yoo, who is in the background, at his knees.  Correct example shows the horizon line cross Dokja Kim and Junghyeok Yoo, who is in the background, at their shoulders.
Perspective tip! Try to avoid having the horizon line run through the middle of the screen.  Raising or lowering the the horizon gives your shots a cinematic feel.  Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing the center of the frame.   Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing close to the top of the frame.   Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing close to the bottom of the frame.

a couple snippets from a presentation i gave at school this past week on storyboarding!!

‼️DISCLAIMER: I am a still a student and have only worked on student and indie projects! This is just stuff that I personally find helpful as an amateur, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt!

Happy boarding, friends! ✍️💕

Me, doing exercise in the past: Okay, this hurts too much now, I think I’m done for the day

People I did exercise with: No! Push through it! You have to Keep Going!

Me: Why? I’ve been going for a good while, and it’s been hurting for a good while, but I kept going, so I have pushed myself. Which means that I will be stronger next time and able to go further. If I keep pushing myself now, I’ll just be in too much pain and begin to hate this.

Them: I don’t believe you when you say that you’ve already pushed yourself, so you have to keep going, otherwise you’re Weak And Bad!

Me: Okay, I hate this, and I’m gonna just stop forever. (Or at least until something like a pandemic forces me to exercise alone, and I realise that I can actually go at my own pace and still see results.)

An ADHD podcast last week, talking about exercise: And remember not to push yourself! Going at a slower pace to build up muscle is fine, and if you go too fast, you’ll associate exercise with pain, and it will make it harder to find the motivation to keep going long-term.

disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

I Like Thinking Reigen Takes In Teru Post-canon…. And I Also See Them Both As Trans, And I Just Like

I like thinking Reigen takes in Teru post-canon…. and I also see them both as trans, and I just like the idea of Reigen being a supportive dad, lol. So here’s a pretty self-indulgent comic.
