Self-Reflective-Journal: Week Three:
​For this week we were tasked with creating our storyboard from the ideas that were steemed from our mood boards and video research of the visualisation motion of the body. Here I have a storyboard with my first conceptual ideas for how the choreography will be and the main golden poses. I then have a final storyboard with the confirmed poses and dance moves that will be mainly used.
​
In Emily's class, we followed the nCloth tutorial. I personally believe this was quite straightforward to get the hang of.
For nCloth, I first created a polygon plane selected the scale tool and resized the polygon plane so that it is bigger on the grid. I used the move tool to raise the plane above the grid. I then created a polygon cylinder and resized it to raise up more and be positioned between the grid and polygon plane. I had my FX menu set then I selected my polygon plane and went to nCloth and created nCloth. Then I needed my ncloth to collide with the cylinder. In the outliner, I selected the nCloth node and in the attribute editor, I selected the nucleus tab in the ground plane section and ticked 'Use Plane' box. I played back the simulation in the time slider and now the polygon plane stopped at the ground plane. I selected the cylinder went to nCloth > Create Passive Collider and played back the simulation of the cloth colliding with the object below. I then added a lambert for colour and playblasted.

Here is my storyboard. This storyboard was my first conceptual ideas for the dance choreography. Though as I made my reference videos for my dancer to use to learn from, the dance moves changed slightly. Some of the poses in the storyboard were scraped and changed it to fit more eloquently with the ideas I had in mind. Though the essence of the main golden poses were taken account for and improved to be more elevated for the 30 second trailer.
