This is another sketch layer that I knew I would struggle to do because it had to match up to the three symmetrical arrows of the recycling logo, which would mean copy and paste match ups. I think this time around, I worked a lot more on the actual sketch layer and did the line work because it was easier to match them to the recycling logo I knew how to replicate in to the right positions, as I had done the matching drawing. I think moving forward, the person who did the matching drawing should definitely do the linework for the scene because it makes understanding the flow easier.
I also did the line work because I thought the trail of dots would be as hard to follow as the recycling logo, but it was a lot simpler. I knew this needed to turn from four hotspots to three arrows. Though we could have just done three hotspots, I wanted to represent all areas. Though it would have been better to do England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, I think the lines would have clashed in the small space.
In our talk on Friday with Mat and Michaela, they said they wanted to see more of the white borders, so I put one on the UK as we talked about. I think this looks really good and adds to the perspective that we really wanted to add - but it made the background off white. Monochrome is on the scale in the Giffgaff colours, and I think it adds a more serious tone to the facts in the script. If we don't like the new choice, Alex can always change the background to white and get rid of the border in editing. But we all like it.
They also mentioned using different line weights, which I was worried about in Harmony as we were using the uniform pen to match the style. But I think I managed to add a nice line weight variant which gives Alex an example to go off of in editing.
Nadia can now match these colours to the ones she has been adding in the rest of her editing process on the other shots.
EBI: Sketch layers are getting better but try to show some variety in the next ones in case this one doesn't go so well. Storyboards are left to interpretation after all.
This might need slowing down a little in timing, I was matching the animatic time length. So something else may need a shorter transition.
