Hatching a plan 03 6月 2013 by Muvizu_Admin in News All you Muvizuers know only too well the difference that a well constructed story can make to an animation. Thorough planning really can make all the difference. The storyboard has always played a key role in this as a key visualisation tool for animation and film production. Here's how some of the world's most admired animators tackle it. Here at Muvizu, MD Barry has been driving the creation of Muvizu since it was a simply drafted, pencil sketch of an egg. When the team here were 'down' in the Muvizu archives recently we found ourselves re-watching the fabulous "Geraldo and the Plan" created by Barry back in 2010. At the time Barry also created one of Muvizu's first 'making of' blogs to share some of his approach to animating using Muvizu and some of the tools he uses. "Geraldo and the Plan" was fairly ambitious, with over 60 shots and a musical number. A few people asked him how it was made so he decided to share some of the steps to making the next episode which was tentatively called, "Geraldo in Stockholm". We think it still makes interesting reading. One of the really great things about Muvizu is that you ARE able to just dive in and play with different ways to tell your story. But Geraldo reminded us that planning does still play an important part in the success of any great project. Those of you who have made Muvizu animations you are proud of might like to share what it was about your process that you think contributed to their success or any tricks you have hidden up your sleeves?
