Animation / Storyboard Comparison


Scene 1
The first part of my storyboard was of a star destroyer passing through the scene. In my animation I have captured this scene well, I've also added in extra star destroyers as they usually are in a fleet. I also decided to fill out the scene with planets and asteroids as it was too plain.


Scene 2

At this scene the star destroyer is meant to leave the scene as the x-wing enters.  At this point the animation slightly differs from the storyboard. In the animation, the camera pans away from the from the star destroyer, onto the x-wing.




Scene 3
In the storyboard, the camera focuses onto the x-wing as it's flying across. Since the x-wing is actually still in a long ranged shot, the camera quickly zooms into focus rather than pan towards it.


Scene 4
At this stage of the storyboard, the animation should be in first persons perspective of the x-wing as it is head on with the imperial shuttle. This is portrayed just as it should be in the animation. The two scenes are almost identical to one another.


Scene 5
This scene is a clear shot of the both the X-wing and Imperial Shuttle heading into each other. Once again this scene is portrayed exact in the animation, as it is on the storyboard

Scene 6
Finally, in the storyboard, the two ships scrape past each other. This is shown to be a straight shot. In the animation I decided to show this in a slight angle so the shot seems more seamless and doesn't have an awkward pan or cut.







There are a few extra bits of the comparison id like to point out. At the beginning I added an extra scene, which was the short establishing shot of the sun before the camera actually pans towards the Star Destroyers.
Also in the original order of the storyboard, scene 4 and scene 5 were swapped around. I changed the order because of the time I had. If it is was in it original order, the animation would look very clunky with both ships in the shot.
