Behind the Scenes Pandora

Pandora Chapter 1 Getting Started

 Very excited to get moving with Chapter 1 of Pandora. I have a new process for getting the episodes out there. I found lessons I learned creating the Prologue really will save time and support a better story.

  When I start out with the art elements (after I "ready" the script) I keep everything loose and allow my first impression to dictate what I create. At this point I am still brainstorming quite a bit. The storyboards and concepts are very rough. Nothing really to display for a viewer. The purpose is to get my visual ideas out as quickly as possible. There will be plenty of refining points for concepts and storyboards. One thing I try to hold tight too, is not being afraid to throw things out if I dont like it or if I DO like it but it doesn't flow with the story.

 I quickly drop the rough storyboards into an animatic. Currently I'm using After Effects for this. I am getting a rough idea or the timing for each shot and camera position. I use the 3D layer option for this and create a camera. Very rough and crude but gives me a general idea of what I need to work on to set up the camera shots. After a bit of tweaking here and there I'm ready to get into concept mode and refine the looks of the environments, vehicles, props and most importantly the characters.
