Storyboard References: Wallace and Gromit


The storyboards for Wallace and Gromit appear, visually, a lot different from the other storyboards I ave looked at. In a way they look a lot cleaner in terms of the lines and the backgrounds of the frames are a lot less sketchy and are drawn clearer. Although I like the sketchy looking frames from previous storyboards, thinking on a professional level I feel that it would be a good idea to clean up the final storyboards and make them look a lot cleaner similarly to the Nick Park's storyboards. 




I also really like how the dialogue of the character is written underneath the frame in which the character would speak. Again I feel it is all about clarity and coherence of the storyboard. Despite having said that I really like how the storyboards are very clear and clean, whilst I feel from a professional point of view these are very good, I feel that they lack personality and they don't capture the movement of the characters unlike the initial sketch in the image below. For instance I feel that the four frames below tell the story a lot better than the storyboard above, as it provides more depth and movement within the frames whereas the cleaner, clearer storyboards appear to be more flat and lack depth. Also it is simply a lot more interesting to look at and a lot more aesthetically pleasing.
