First Class


Started IDST145 today at city college of San Francisco. We are blogging every week about our class homework assignments.

We looked at Frame Forge 3D demos and also ToonBoom Storyboard Pro demos and observed the capabilities of both programs. Looked at Adobe Flash CS3 and re-familiarized with aspects of the timeline and drawing in flash. Also did an exercise in free-writing and brainstorming, wrote non stop for 5 minutes to produce some text for ideas. The took idea examples and created mindmaps. (example below) We also saw an example of how to pitch a storyboard with onsite sound effects by another student, Aidan Casserly.  Also found out about a mind map option called FreeMind.



Notes:

Text- script + shotlist
Diagrams- overhead schematics
Images- drawings, photos, GCI

Homework:

Get book - From Word to Image and read pages 1-9 and write a summary on blog.

Why you want to be a storyteller? 
4 min presentation
