I started to work more on my storyboard. One concept I was working on was making a tunnel of different forest scenes. To help conceptualize this and to plan out what size the images would have to be I put all the images in photoshop and worked on layering them. At the time that I had come to layering them all to see if the end image would even be legible, my teacher came over and started relaying some ideas to me.
My original intent was to make a tunnel using pieces of the images, but not the whole image itself. I also wasn't planning on having the previous image be shown while doing the next. It was supposed to be a smooth transition from one to the next while working with a camera zoom to make a tunneling effect. My teacher liked the way the layering looked, and the geometric feel it had. I also liked the way this looked, but I worried about its legibility, since the effect was only about and inch per image. We started throwing ideas back and forth at each other and ultimately decided on making the image appear, then have the middle fade, then have the next image appear and repeat. This would make it legible, but also in the end keep the geometric layering effect.
After discussing this I was told to stop planning things, stop storyboarding. I was told to just start, just throw myself into it and see where it goes. The problem with planning is if something doesn't transition right or if all the colors start to mud down, then I am screwed. So if I just start and go with it, it will be more legible and I can adjust my ideas as I go. I might also explore and find new ways of doing things that I wouldn't find by planning it all out.
My teacher then did a demo for me and gave me some ideas on materials that I should use for the project to get the best quality I could.
I spent the rest of class researching materials and where I could get them.
