Goal
During my time at Harrisburg University, while deciding on what my project should be, I decided to make a documentary on how COVID-19 affects immunocompromised people, not only to inform people but to educate those who want to help out those who have loved ones that are immunocompromised.
Challenges
While working on the project, time management was the biggest one given the fact that it was in the middle of a semester when I was interviewing the people I know personally who tested positive for COVID-19, also due to the documentary being nearly 18 minutes long, it was difficult to upload due to how large the video file is, but I managed to get everything done & ready on time.
Storyboard Designs
Originally I drew up the storyboards on my sketchpad & uploaded them on Adobe Illustrator to trace them & make them look clearer than a traditional drawing that has been uploaded online via photo.
Fun Fact: The characters in the storyboard were inspired by character designs in the long-running book series Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Art Direction
The reason why I chose to make the storyboard similar to the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" character designs is mostly because I did not want to go with stick figures since it seemed like the most cliché thing to do & it would make everything seemed uninspired or uncreative.
In my opinion, the art style I've chosen is the best approach I went with & plenty of people seemed to like it.
The original source material as mentioned before, it was sketched on my sketchpad before uploading & tracing them in Adobe Illustrator
