hi! - i have taken media studies in school and must create a story board for my talk show. RE: 3D - pls help! by Ash_ on 11-04-2005 at 04:10 AM im not teaching you how to do it. but Bryce and ProDesktop are good programs for 3D imaging. RE: 3D - pls help! by Mike on 11-04-2005 at 04:12 PM
Vue d'Esprit 5 is also good RE: 3D - pls help! by CookieRevised on 11-04-2005 at 07:24 PM
I highly doubt "Vue d'Esprit", "Bryce" or "Maya" and the likes are the programs he is searching for/he can use for his storyboard (not to mention they are not free and not cheap). 3D is a vast subject and can contain a lot of different things, methods, etc. Not all 3D equals "Vue d'Esprit", "Bryce" or "Maya"... RE: 3D - pls help! by DJKAL on 11-04-2005 at 07:27 PM thanks cookierevised but i cant draw by hand lol - but all i need is a 6 slide storyboard that shows the startup of my show - this means i want the 3D mainly for the logo to "spin" onto the screen meaning to draw this by hand is difficult - and looks cr*when i do it! lol RE: 3D - pls help! by CookieRevised on 11-04-2005 at 07:36 PM
quote:hmmm ok, after reading this: What do you mean by "storyboard"? A storyboard is not an already worked out video or a semi-worked out video. Because that is called an "animatic" or "story reel" and is only created at a later stage (if created at all) and is used mostly for timing issues and/or basic camera movements. Also the animation used in "story reels" is often nothing more than the scanned in storyboard slices which are zoomed and/or panned, it is not a full detailed animation. A storyboard is to show what is going to happen, without actually showing it for real (so to speak). It doesn't include real animation, it only includes stills (like a comic book). A storyboard is to show the story line and to think about how the story could evolve before taking the actual action. And second question: what is that "talk show"? Is it a video you need to create? Or is it something you need to do in front of the class or something? If it is a video, you might wanna (read: must) include transition notes for the different scenes and views. If it is something you must do in front of the class, you make the storyboard showing the different positions of the speaker, guests, etc... I ask this and said all the previous stuff, because your assignment might well be to create a true storyboard (stills and stuff) and only in a later stage turn that story board into a "story reel" or even full animation. So make sure you get the assignment right and don't skip the storyboard step or you might loose points on the assignment or whatever... So if you're in doubt, ask the one who gave you the assignment if you can do what you wanna do because it is possible that they will not see your "storyboard" as a storyboard, but as a already worked out video. Plus, I'm almost certain that if they give you the assignment of creating a storyboard, that they also first explained what a storyboard is and how to create it. ---------- EDIT 1: A true storyboard contains ("3d") stills like: eg: http://user.bahnhof.se/~dico/iradidio/storyboard/samples/51.jpg Also, you might be interested in: http://www.thestoryboardartist.com/ http://www.dicomics.com/storyboardschool/ http://www.uncc.edu/webcourse/sb/storyboard.htm EDIT 2: And this is specific software to create your (3D look a like) storyboards: Storyboard Quick: creates true story boards Storyboard Artist: creates also story reels But not free, and starts at $300, see http://www.powerproduction.com/ |
