Some Storyboarding Techniques As A Sequel To My Storyboarding Basics Presentation. I Focus Specifically
![Title card reading [Storyboarding Techniques: A Sequel to "Storyboarding Basics". Brought to you by NU Animation Club, Nov 2023]. A chibi drawing of Feeb holding a stylus waves in the bottom right corner.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e302676ef8b68efe7a62a939a15cb663/2dc9b039e896ab3c-74/s500x750/8892af0d22ebc6d436bc179b688b702996e494f0.png)
![Text reads: [Boarding Action Tip: Move characters in Z-space! Beginners have a bad habit of boarding in x and y only. Don't neglect moving in z-space! It can be dynamic and exciting!] A drawing of an axis sits above the text, showing a green arrow pointing up for Y (symbolizing moving up and down), a red arrow pointing right for X (symbolizing moving left and right), and a blue arrow pointing forward (symbolizing moving forward and back). Two examples are shown on the right, depicting Vash from Trigun Stampede drawing his gun. The first one shows him running to the left and drawing his gun, moving in X-space. It is more static and plain. The second one shows him running towards the viewer, drawing his gun when he gets close, moving in Z-space. It is more engaging.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/09bf64ccbeca3c5af22ae8e4e1a7142f/2dc9b039e896ab3c-b7/s500x750/e1bd4ca3916d393d46cddb2f27509370b001eed3.png)
![Text reads: [Boarding Action Tip: Go close, then far. Bring the camera close to the character. Pull back without cutting. Moving the camera allows the viewer to feel like they're fighting, too.] The example shows Finn from Archmage Ascending holding up their magic staff, the camera close to where their fist grips the weapon. The second shot shows that the camera has pulled back to have Finn's whole body in view as they swing their staff downwards, causing an explosion.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7c1fae6a88b663c437bbc426945b2ffa/2dc9b039e896ab3c-e3/s500x750/567d1ed177ffdf54ef1974b762055082590978df.png)
![Text reads: [Boarding Action Tip: lead the eye. Inevitably, action scenes have many moving parts. Use the composition & camera movement to guide the viewer's eye in the direction of the main motion.] The example shows Juri and Utena from Revolutionary Girl Utena engaging in a sword fight. As they move from the left to the right of the arena, the camera tracks their movement. Another smaller set of boards beside the example shows how the camera's view moves to the right, following the duelists.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cfa5965c7b8cdd59dbab679a2851eafa/2dc9b039e896ab3c-82/s500x750/1fa2c1a53cd52e943f1716dba83d7873e7dfd016.png)
![Text reads: [Boarding Conversations: Perspective is power. The angle/perspective of the camera implies power dynamics. Low looking up: the depicted character has power over the viewer. High looking down: the depicted character is under the viewer's power.] There are two examples, both showing Makima from Chainsaw Man having a conversation with Denji. The first shows two over-the-shoulder shots, both characters on equal level, and is marked [NEUTRAL]. The second example shows Makima from the perspective of a low-placed camera looking up, so she looms over the viewer; and Denji from the perspective of a high-placed camera looking down, so he cowers under the viewer. The example is marked with a checkmark and the note [stronger sense of power imbalance].](https://64.media.tumblr.com/24826ef8458d024adee7c41c062e77a5/2dc9b039e896ab3c-cc/s500x750/bf2a790ce3a0d707c94f0f676301f00744374374.png)
![Text reads: [Boarding Conversations: 180 Rule. The viewer must stay on the same side of the scene at all times. A way to test this is to make sure the character faces the same side of the screen (left or right) in every shot.] There are two examples, an incorrect one and a correct one, both depicting Dani and Dorian Wytte from Hooky having a conversation. The first example shows Dani on the left facing right, with Dorian on the right facing left. A small top-down diagram below shows that the camera sits on the right side of the twins. In the next shot, Dorian is now on the left facing right, and Dani on the right facing left. The diagram shows the camera has jumped to sit on the left side of the twins; this is incorrect. The correct example starts the same, showing Dani left facing right and Dorian right facing left. In the next shot, Dani is still facing right and Dorian still facing left. The diagrams show that the camera has changed its angle and position, but has remained on the right side of the twins. This is correct.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9920d846a80cc6c366cfd3a52177342b/2dc9b039e896ab3c-e1/s500x750/76f9c1c2d5e13c9ff6711a46c1e003df59f63536.png)

character design commission for inneedofausername 🌈
Can we get rid of the notion that "one post isnt gonna do much" or "my platform isnt big enough anyway" when it comes to sharing what's going on in Gaza?
Israel has been in control of the narrative for years. And with the rise social media platforms, they are depending on you and me thinking "my voice doesnt mean anything anyway". They want us to give up.
At this point if you havent shared anything about it, even though you're an active member on a social media platform, you are giving israel exactly what they want. They want the world to forget or ignore what they're doing.
Of course you're still allowed to make fandom posts, post aesthetic pictures, talk about personal anecdotes or interests. But if you are active in doing the above while still maintaining silent on what's happening in Gaza after a whole ass month,,,you are essentially silencing the Gazan voice in a way you maybe hadn't considered:
Because by being an active member (posting unrelated things) yet still remaining silent on a humanitarian crisis, you're essentially normalising disinvolvement in a humanitarian crisis.
Remember, israel is counting on the world to forget/ignore what's happening. Your silence only helps them.

Pokemon trainer Gonta!
That was an obvious choice for bug type haha







Finally made The Withered designs! I never gave them a true unwithered design so here they are!
