Storyboard
Background inspiration: I was inspired by the ominous greys and insolaed locations of Silent hill and Alan Wake
Initial drafts: I chose the 2nd background because it offers the strongest balance between storytelling of seeing the graffiti and the visual composition of the leading lines of the foot path guiding the viewers eyes to the abandoned store.
Final video for an assessment about camera position, background and learning character blocking. The Animation Layout features Cade running inside the abandoned supermarket.
