For this task, we had to create 5 storyboards that used the same each for the central board each time. So in each of my examples, I placed the same image on the 5th panel.
This task was surprisingly difficult. I think my ideas are too complicated, and I thought about it like I was animating frame-by-frame, and not in after effects.
I find after effects quite mechanical and restrictive, whereas a lot of the animation I admire is very lo-fi and done by hand which provides a more genuine, human quality.
I didn't just want to create ideas that are like "Frame 1: object appears, Frame 2: object moves right, Frame 3: object leaves screen"...very boring and not atmospheric at all.
I have an image of the kind of thing I want to achieve in my head, however I think I need to see more examples of animations done in after effects to see if these ideas would translate successfully. With my images being very handmade, I am worrying that after effects is just too precise and slick for what I'm going for.
It seems like with frame-by-frame/handmade animation, the possibilities are endless. Yeah they'd be less smooth and accurate, but the movements would be more jittery, shaky, and weird! This is what I want.
Out of the storyboards, I like 1, 3, and 4. I think I just need advice to know whether or not they'd work in after effects or if it would be too much of a struggle to create.
