[Extended Practice]Change of storyboard...

There are some big changes to the storyboard while working along with it. I found that there are a few panels should be reconsidered because of the lack of information or do not link the scenes before and after well enough.
They are the scenes where the bad guy threaten Rambo by pulling the trigger of the grenade and originally it was followed by a transition of the grenade reflected in Rambo's eye and showing the fear. But obviously I did not give the characters any eyes or mouth so the storyboard is not working. I am glad that the scene followed it has finished already so it is easier to think of a way linking the scenes instead of changing the whole story completely.

Another scene was after the gangster shot, originally dad was looking at the sniper and show appreciation while Rambo ran next to him. The problem is that the most important bits were not included which is to show the grenade is detonated that why Rambo escape. Also dad's action did not have much meaning to the story therefore I steal some time from that part and turning it into a close up scene of the bad guy. Hopefully it gradually builds up the tension and showing that something big is coming that why people need to escape from that.



I think it is a reasonable correction because the storyline flows better and the more important shoots are put in which is essential in such short time. I tend to keep the background simple towards the ending of the story since the main focus it are the characters and audience would not be distracted by the detailed buildings and texture while some important plots are going on. However I should have thought about the storyboard more carefully at the beginning of the project so that the production could go much smoother and the contents would not contradict. To be honest, there have been a lot of minor changes during the production which I think it acceptable since it is difficult to foreseen all problems. I wish to improve the storyboarding skills so that my work can be more appealing and easier to understand and this animation is an extremely valuable experiment of new techniques and approaches.
