Storyboard: You Better Watch Out


The title isn't a threat or anything, by the way. That's just the name of the animation.

Color Theory

1. The story in my animation is Santa Claus finding an elf who escaped from his miserable life as a slave in the toy workshop. After kicking out the window, Santa jumps through and chases the elf, throwing an object at him with his psychic powers before kicking him to the wall. After that, Santa uses his powers to lift the elf Darth Vader style, keeping him in a levitating chokehold before dropping him. After all, Santa knows when his elves run. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. 2. I want the audience to be relaxed at first as the elf writes a letter, then startled as Santa breaks into the house.

My last full animation (pendulum) originally had a very simple and bleak setting, so I wanted to avoid that by putting some thought into the layout of the scene for this animation. I tried to coordinate the colors and shapes used in the scene without making it too overwhelming. Adding onto that, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I didn't use Blend Swap for anything. (I mean, of course I have nothing against people who did use it! That's not the message...

Action Scavenger Hunt Blog Post

Actions are a set series of animated movements depicting a specific activity, which can often be looped. Actions are used in animations when a character does something a repeated number of times. A good example is walking: instead of animating each and every step again and again, an animator can loop the walking action as many times as they need to.
