colorscript

This past Friday I caught Will Weston, our graduate level figure drawing instructor, discussing colorscripts after class. He mentioned that on a professional level, each color represents a "moment" of the film. Because my film has only ten "moments," a traditional colorscript looked a little plain, so I decided to create an alternate form of colorscript. I lined up a still from each shot of my animatic sequentially in photoshop, stretched it vertically, and then motion blurred it vertically as well. Here's the Result:


I feel that this was a quick and dirty way of showing the progression of the film. It moves from a lot of contrast to less, and from colorful to gray - two main themes of the film. Something to keep in mind while moving on to the concept work for the final paintings.
