Had a crit this morning, although i was gutted that no-one got to see my research and blog posts. However I was still able to get feedback on some of the story boards.
I gave quick presentation explaining the development from the hand drawn storyboards to the idea of vector graphics. As well as an ink background.
I am pleased that everyone thought the 'psycho' storyboard was well draw and communicated my ideas clearly, yet still gave an in put onto how to develop them further. (cutting down the scene/ zooming in and out of specific key frames. etc). I was surprised though that all agreed i should keep the hand drawn 'drawings' and not turn them into vector graphics. I will attempted to do this for at lest one of the idents, but i think it will be difficult to do and make them move in an "organic" way.
Technique suggestions from group
Live trace. (but keep the corner angles and minimum pixels right down) I don't really knw how to do this but i'll give it a go in illustrator/photoshop.
Zoom in and out of plug whole and eye pupil
do more ink experiments
DON'T Vector
look at poirot miss marple midsummer murders etc for design inspiration
Agatha Christie book designs for type ideas.
