On top of the three type storyboards, I've sketched three additional storyboards which are combinations of type and image (from the 1st animation).
I think I'm leaning towards this storyboard for the final piece. The earth hardens and cracks before the finger is able to poke the hole. I like the integration of the word 'earth' with the watering action, then the word 'earth' softens before the plant starts growing.
This seems a little more abstract but could work well I too. It has more integration between word and image compared to the first one and the word earth is duplicated in frame 20. This would give the idea of more happening than you might feel if there was only one word.
This I feel is the final and makes the most sense. For the first few frames it's just the word on its own, then it cuts to the image and back again. Later though, the text overlays on top of the image in fragments before softening into blob like shapes. I think my plan A would be to cut these hard letterforms out of wood. Like I used a green cushion in the initial animations to help make gardening look glamorous and fun, the addition of wood adds more fun and wood is always hard which emphasizes how much the ground really has to soften before you can plant.

i agree that the first solution is a bit stronger. it is more cohesive overall in terms of the word meanings relating to the imagery and growth process. some things to consider as you add more detail:
ReplyDelete- exactly how will the first word get on the screen?
- how will things transition between word and image? cut? dissolve? other ways? (looks like the first two words are cut)
- will colors carry over into the type or will it be in separate spaces / separate scenes (for the first two)?
- do you see the type being textural like the images you made, dimensional somehow, or flat and graphic?
- does it do anything to try and abstract the words more before being resolved? does that create suspense in any way?
