Finished Storyboard

Here is the finished storyboard which includes the required pack shot. As I said in the last post the 2D background and objects were build using Fireworks.

Bug Character

I decided to build character in 3D and to have a 2D background. To make the character suit the 2D surroundings I used the Ink and Paint materials setting for the characters body colour.











The only other object built in 3D Max was the shaving foam. This was achieved using the Torus object ie;the donut shape object. Noise was added to the oject to make it rough, then turbosmooth was used. In the material edited the glossiness was turned low to take off the reflection of the material to look like foam.






I took shots of the character posed to match the sketched storyboard, then took shots of the character with different coloured skin to represent the bar scene. I then could make the final storyboard with the 2D background and objects, which were done in Fireworks and the finished storyboard will be in my next post.

Final Storyboard sketches

Here is the final sketches of the storyboard with the final shots I intended to use. My first sketches were all long to mid shots, so I changed the views to focus on the most important point of focus in the shot.










As you can see the different shots make all the difference to the shots and the sketches look more interesting as a result.





























The only shot missing is the final pack shot.

Simulated Client Project

My final idea for the 30 second Advert, funnly enough came to me in the pub. The gag was that an insect mistakenly uses an Insect repellant instead of a Deodorant. When I left the pub I wrote down the idea and the first draught of the storyboard.




My idea was to start the ad with a character in the shower. The shower gets turned off and a towel is shown being wrapped round the character behind the shower curtain. The curtain is pulled back to reveil a bug. The bug then gets out of shower and puts on shaving cream and begins to shave.





The bug then reaches for a bottle of deodorant, but picks up the Insect repellant instead. The bug then sprays the repellant on his body. The bug then ends up in a bar on his own repelling all the other bugs in the bar, I also had the character standing at the bar adding to the gag as he's a "Barfly".
