Week6 - Out Of Class

By the end of the last class I finished my sketched storyboard. It ended up being 9 frames and I estimated that it would take about 5 seconds. I chose to use a earring/gem instead of just a water droplet  so the viewer would be able to have a better idea what the company was about.




Before I started my digital storyboard I thought I should render the earring/gem I would be using since I would need to be included. So first I found the picture below online.



Next I brought this photo into illustrator and live traced it. The results were not what I was hoping for. Below is a screenshot of the traced image; it is lumpy and not as crisp as I wanted.

So then I got rid of the right one so I could start work on the left one.
After I started to clean up the lines using the pen tool I realized that if I were to drop this in the hoop area would take up a lot of space and time and was not very interesting. I felt that I would be able to get the same message across without having the top on it. The viewer would realize that it is a jewelry company and may become curious and look up the company.

Once I erased the top and cleaned up the image more I realized the silver rim around it was also unnecessary to the design so I again erased more and continue to render the gem how I wanted it. 

Above is the final product of my work on the gem. My design calls for a top few though also so below is the screenshot of the top view of the gem.
Once all of this was done I finally created my digital storyboard, the screenshots of which are below.
