Week 5A- Feb. 17

Today in class, we critiqued each others' storyboards and began working on our projects in After Effects. In the beginning of class, two people were asked to volunteer to show their storyboards up front to be critiqued by the whole class, and I was the first one to volunteer. Before presenting the storyboards, I showed them my quote, and the class took guesses on how exactly I would convey it in After Effects. Some of the comments were very similar to how I wish to present my video in After Effects, so I feel that I have successfully completed this idea.

Some suggestions were to have a more simplistic bee than the original one I illustrated, a thinner line for "bee" in the last frame, and colors that represent nature better since the ones I have are too unnatural. The yellow was said to be hurtful to the eyes, and it was suggested to perhaps add an off-white background, which brings me to the background suggestions, since I had difficulty in figuring out what I wanted to use as my background, if anything. Another background suggestion was to have a lighter texture that fades halfway across the screen with the words as they appear.
