Water Droplet tutorial

I found this tutorial to help with one of my scene transitions.

Style sheet

This sheet contains all the elements I will need for my info graphic. I think it give a pretty good idea of how it's going to look once it's animated.

animatic

This is my animatic I used the script I currently have to work out the rough timing of each scene. It currently runs 10 seconds overtime. I have managed to cut down the whole thing to about 1 minute and 5 seconds but should get a better idea when I record my voice over.

Final story board

The final version of my storyboard with all camera shots and scene transitions as well as the narration for each scene.
I decided to use a voice over as I have to much info to display on each page and If I cut it down I have the feeling nothing will make sense.

Now to make an animatic to work out the timing and see if anything needs to be cut down.

Tutorial

Found this tutorial, it should be pretty helpful for when I make the solar system model at the stat of my animation.

Visual Style

Using the colours from the poster above I combined them with the style of the video I posted to create a mock up of the aesthetic my info graphic will have.

Story Board

This is the first draft of my story board. It started getting to technical and didn't follow any logical path.
So I started again and refined my idea a bit more and narrowed the topic down to be about: Can Life exist beyond earth.

At this point I realised I didn't want my info graphic to just follow a step by step path like it did through the whole first half of the story board, which ended up happening anyway in The first option for the ending.

Option A below for the ending stopped working because it started to just look exactly the same as the first half of the graphic which talked about earth. When my info graphic starts to talk about the other earth like planets I want the scenes to be slightly different and not as linear.

This is the new reworked version of the second half of my info graphic. I have chosen to focus on only one star system that has "habitable" planets as it made it easier to get more in depth in the short amount of time we have for the finish piece. With the addition of the info I think it will tell the story of how life could exists on other planets reasonably well.

Inspiration

I found this example on YouTube. I quite like the style that they used. I might adapt some of it's elements, like the planets to use in my animation.
