Storyboards
In order to flesh out the visual direction of valid., I first needed to create storyboards of the various scenes, which included narrative and character direction. The characters were based on the ones created during pre-production, which can be seen further down in the document.
The storyboards were drawn in Procreate, exported as .png files, and imported into Adobe After Effects. Once in After Effects, the boards were timed in a way that imbued them with a sense of narrative flow. After the boards were timed, sound effects were taken from Pixabay, imported into After Effects, and placed in time with the storyboards. The final product of this effort is the video at the top of this page.
