Process
Starting with going through each of the shots, I created a plan as to how I would go about animating as well as sourcing a couple of different ideas of how they could transition in the best way from one scene into the next. I challenged myself to learn new tricks and watch tutorials if I didn’t know how to make something animate the way that I wanted to and went back and redid a couple of shots that I realized could be done in a better way. I grouped the shots together by row as they are seen in the storyboards to make each bit more digestible and focused on one section at a time, making sure I felt good about it before moving on.
Final
The finished video was shared with my teaching assistant and following some edits based on feedback, I created the below animation, which takes you through the story of an ice sculptor and their relationship with their tool of choice: a chainsaw.
