DSDN101: Peer Critique - Garman Liu

0 Comments

After reading Garman’s intentions on how he wants to go about representing the Mighty K’s Challenge I have a clear idea of his thoughts. The story line of walking a far distance to get water, a basic survival necessity makes the idea of the Mighty K’s challenge very realistic. Instead of just representing the Mighty K’s distance, Garman included in his idea the fact that many people have to go a very far distance to get something essential to their survival.


Looking at Garman’s storyboard I can understand what is going on from reading the summary of intentions. However more work is needed and attention to detail is really important. It is said that a storyboard should be detailed enough so that someone else could create the stop motion from seeing the storyboard. But I feel the storyboard is not unified as there is quite a lot of text and not enough attention to the detail within each frame. If this was more detailed and cleaner to create a unified storyboard, then I think it would be easier for Garman to create his stop motion as the frames are broken down into what he needs to do.


Watching the developmental stages of the stop motion being filmed was interesting to see, especially starting in Photoshop and changing to use card and paper. I like the idea very much and the filming of the stop motion so far seems very good. However there is one part that doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the video. The use of the “poof” clouds is feeling a bit random and also makes it slightly confusing when the same “poof” clouds come onto the screen as storm clouds which start to rain. A better way is needed to incorporate the change of scene; this could be a simple transition to different paper through the character walking.


The overall development of the stop motion is going very well and the use of card looks aesthetically pleasing. I think there are just a few things to fine tune before carrying on such as the storyboards and the clouds, but the progress is going well and is a good way to represent the Caritas Challenge.
