This project was started in our Concept class, where my process for creating the storyboards and concept for this animation can be found here.
Below is a simple animatic of my storyboards with the original sound byte of interviews.
Beginning
Critique:
. Replace elements
. Find new image of globe
. Introduce globe earlier on anticipation
. Increase stroke width on square
. Slow down the globe!
Middle
1) In the beginning, instead of the square expanding out before bouncing back into the shape of a circle, we made the transition quick and simple.
2) Rather than the globe be far back in space, having it popup and come to the front, mimicking the same movement of the way it appeared, was more effective so the viewer could see the cutouts better.
3) Tilting the globe on it's side so the equator pointed up made it easier to see the iconic popups.
Critique:
. Work on the rotation of the objects on the globe
. Add a camera movement [Of it swaying back and forth? Forward or back?]
. Figure out how to make cutouts!
Final
Looking back, we ran into a lot of challenges with this animation. Although both of us grasp the storyboards, we had never actually made a 3D sphere completely in After Effects before. I managed to find a simple way of making the globe work, however, it was a flat shape, so actually forming "popups" out of the globe was far more difficult than we anticipated. With our combined efforts, we managed to create something that looks and feels 3 dimensional and we are both extremely proud of the final outcome. Enjoy.
