Penner Dreadful

I was able to simplify my idea for the video from the previous sketches, and I think that I will be able to create it based off of the storyboard below. I have also included a copy of the poem itself and marked off which lines will be combined for each part of the animation. Please excuse the order of shots and how poorly my scanner works. Shot 1 (top right): Will be emphasizing the books under the table leg. Lines: 1, 2, 3. Shot 2 (top left): The table showing one or two books along with an ashtray, a coffee cup, and a glass cup. Lines: 4, 5, 6. Shot 3: close up of my side of the table with my steaming coffee, smoking cigarette in ashtray, and book where the pages will flip after every other line read. I will include a second book and drink reversed at the top of the screen, a partial of them, this book's pages will flip on alternating lines from the first. Lines: 7 to 11. Shot 4: A new table, just one book (now a paperback), a different ashtray and coffee cup. Cigarette will

I chose to do an animation for my final project since the other option was a website which I have already created in the previous course. For this project I have chosen to animate my poem that was published in the Black River Review in 2019. I have done some sketches (a small art board) for one of my two ideas and am still trying to think of how the alternative would look. Below are the sketches for the first option and I have also included the design brief that I came up with.

  Above are the final three spreads for the competition. I have shared them with friends and family. They all really liked them, but feedback was a bit on the slim side. For the second spread, pages 10 and 11, a friend recommended changing "work" to "play," but I have a hard time seeing the photo as playing a game instead of working. The third spread, pages 16 to 17, one person said that the socks look odd; it was a strange empty space on the picture and maybe I could change the socks to maybe like a chalkboard or some sign. I could also raise the washer, dryer, and laundry basket up a bit, but I really want to keep Thunder centered. I'm not sure if children's books have page numbers, but I added them so I can reference them by the page numbers.  The competition requires the manuscript (the numbers on the left are the page numbers): 1. I want you to meet my best friend. 2-3. He’s small, fuzzy, and silly. 4-5. And his name is Thunder…but we call him “Little M
