Frame 6 - Camera Cuts To Over Her Shoulder View
Frame 6 -~Camera cuts to over her shoulder view.
~Camera follows MazeRoll walk towards project "OldIsNew"
She picks up the magic object, and walks pass the *Mini Monsters, *Winston, *Kaki, and *Fuzz Luv. She approaches the project "OldIsNew" and.....(to be continued)
*Mini Monsters - MazeRoll's quickly developed prototypes who assist MazeRoll through clapping, puking, and cheering
*Winston is a large one-eyed production pot where MazeRoll combines Taiwanese cultural items including authentic rolls of cloth and dipping sauce.
*Kaki - This is her pet cactus that seems to never need maintenance and eats house mosquitos.
*Fuzz Luv is about the more LUV you give, the more surprises you get!
Frame 5 - MazeRoll Parkours
Camera follows MazeRoll *parkouring off the loft bed!*Parkour - To be more specific, the author is suggesting MazeRoll executes a front tuck off the loft bed.
Frame 4 - Glasses On
MazeRoll puts on her *glasses and gets ready to parkour off her loft bed.
*Glasses: In reality, both Maze and Carol actually wear glasses
Frame 3 - Idea Strikes
Sound Note To Self : Compose the rhythm of a striking ideaAn idea strikes!
MazeRoll awakes!
She decides to execute her idea in the next frames
Frame 2 - MazeRoll Sleeping
The camera pans upward above the rolls of Taiwanese cloth where MazeRoll sleeps. She rests above her supply of Taiwanese cloth, because the material helps her cope with the feelings of homesickness and creative inspiration. The Taiwanese fabric symbolizes traditional Taiwanese art and the relation of all things old represent new.
Frame 1 - MazeRoll's Taiwanese Cloth
It's the year 3030 in this is a storyboard. MazeRoll is a collaborated character of Maze Hsaio and Carol Chiu's thought process. The working concept is narrating the story of a Taiwanese monster (aka OldIsNew) coming to life in a Brookyln New York loft. The authors are encouraging audience to plot the next potential scenes.
Frame 1 - The camera is focused on the large tall rolls of traditional Taiwanese cloth. The material has bright flower patterns and seems to stare back at you as if they have eyes and life to them. The cloth symbolizes traditional Taiwanese art by representing 'old is new'.
Monster doll - 'OldisNew'
1.Current thesis concept: My current thesis concept is weird narration provokes weird music. This concept is important to me because I would like to design sound which narrates the animation. This is important to others because the synergy of both elements conveys a clearer storyline. The story here is how a Taiwanese monster comes alive through an animation. This animation is left opened ended because the audience is allowed to influence the direction of the storyline.
2. The storyboard focuses on the concept verification. This concept verifies that one's imagination can come alive through a storyboard. The end goal for this one design experiment is to collect other people's imagination data. For example, the audience might say, 'the monster doll comes alive through dancing to beats,' or 'the monster doll begins cooking Taiwanese cuisine.'
3. The specific question I am attempting to answer deal with material selection in the production process. They are the following: "Does the music assist in narrating the story?" "Do the colors help convey the story?" "Is it interesting?" "Is the storyline interesting to follow?"
4. The kind of experiment I engaged in paper prototyping on a storyboard. The first set of storyboard are thumbnail size made with pen and sketch paper. This first storyboard told the story of MazeRoll waking up with an idea and running towards her lab station to tune up her monster. The next scene continues when she approaches her boss with her monster doll. Her boss disagrees and dismisses her. MazeRoll is upset and disappointed. She returns home to her Brookyln loft and tosses her monster doll towards the corner wall. Then she climbs into her bed and begins sleeping.
5. No I did not answer all the design questions. But I am almost ready to test because production takes me 1-2 weeks. It takes 1-2 weeks because I hand draw, scan, color and redraw the scenes. Also, I notice some angles are more challenging to draw so some frames take up more time. I have decided to produce an interactive story board online. I have planned for it to include a musical loop in the background, two buttons (next) (back), and a place for commentary. As of now, I have a few frames and have begun building the site.
The cause and effects relationships between the events is drawing out idea in a storyboard causes it to be drawn out more clear to where the audience understands what is happening.
The new that questions arose are, "why are some frames more challenging to draw than others?" "How can I draw them faster and more efficient?"
My thesis concept is in the area developing a thesis concept through storyboarding. The next thing is to design the story montage online with music and sound looping in the background.
6. The next questions is testing this story montage on my audience. My audience has a Taiwanese influenced background. They are people interested in Taiwanization and driving products that develop Taiwan's independence. Also, they are kidults, which are adults who enjoy behaving in kid mentality. They enjoy toys, animations, and other imaginative driven media.
