This is a treat!
You...Awesome sharing process, Jim!<br />This is a treat!<br />You did not tell us what you do to get creative (at the story stage). You know, the mood, the post-it note color, your aromatherapy or incense, your affirmation, that sort of thing.<br />Do you say Om a lot?<br />You know I'm nuts about process stuff, especially THIS process stuff. Thanks so much.<br />Keep kicking butt!gonzalexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075322166395436306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374243872705357686.post-12564392836275913582010-08-04T17:25:20.388-07:002010-08-04T17:25:20.388-07:00Wow, Jim -- I do a lot of boarding on Post-It note...Wow, Jim -- I do a lot of boarding on Post-It notes, but you're the only person I've ever seen who storyboarded an ENTIRE cartoon on ONE Post-It!

Mostly, I'll just save each jpg as it's own shot, naming them something like hittinswitchez_01A and 01B and such. Each jpg is a different movement captured, differentiated by the end letter. Andrew Miller over at www.Drewtoonz.net also does that. He uses tons of jpgs. I only use a maximum of about 15-18 if its an advanced shot. The car bouncing was only 2 jpgs back and forth. <br /><br />Story- That's the quick part. I come up with them and sometimes jot them down. Switchez was about 2 yrs old. Really basic plotlines. The humor is in the details. HOW you end up getting to the conclusion. I usually come up with the beginning and the end first, then fill in the middle. It's really only a matter of a couple of minutes in my head before I document the idea in some form (unless I keep it in my head for years). I flesh it out from there. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Jim Lujanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12329264062141462972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374243872705357686.post-14915944813419451092010-07-30T10:00:34.319-07:002010-07-30T10:00:34.319-07:00Hey Jim, great stuff!

I'm also wondering how long you spend coming up with the story, and visualizing it in your head, before you start storyboarding?Mike Garveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317220252402617809noreply@blogger.com
