The storyboards for part 1 are finished! There are 6 of them! Yikes! Now on to Character creation!
So here is a new alien leader, one thing I’ve noticed this galaxy has a lot more jerks than the galaxy in the first Indavo series!

Boy Storyboarding is where you find that you really taken on a huge project! One also discovers so scene planned don’t work visually. Case in point the Malfri Bridge is going to be totally revamped from the ground up.
Here are the tools I use.
I work quickly and use post-it notes so I can trash or move scenes as needed!
Part 1 Storyboards should be done by the next update! Then it’s on the Character creation and rigging!
So not too much to report this week as storyboarding is, at least in my case, somewhat sketchy and rather primitive.
However these are some character designs, some still in progress. Once finalized I will draw them in Anime Studio using vectors. This will hopefully give me the ability to move them in a more 3D way.
I used Celtx when I wrote the scripts it’s a rather handy resource! I allowed me to work quickly and still have some sort of format to the scripts. Which is great, because I ruminate on a story for a long time, then blart it out in a flurry of keystrokes, typos be damned. Actually, I fix those on the 2nd draft.
Well I’ve wrapped up the last of the 3D models and have moved on to Storyboarding.
About that! “Directing the Story” is a mighty fine book about that subject! Very insightful, check it out!
Week 2 sees more 3d model backgrounds. This is a fairly important setting complete with ominous, mushroom-shaped device. There’s only a few more models to make, including a generator control room and a bridge of a new alien race.
Then it’s on the updating of the Anime Studio character rigs! Also the scripts for both episodes are done and storyboarding should start next week!
