Alright. Now is the time to craft your animation. Setting up for your first scene means you need to know your shots.
1. Watch this clip and watch how simple the filming is for the conversation between the robot and the main character.
2. Use the storyboard sheets to script out a short scene or trailer like scene. Here are some sample shots or these top 30!
PROJECT: Storyboard your Script. It should include 3 scenes, each having at least 5 camera angles.

Today we are learning that we need to change are camera angle. OFTEN!
Here are some examples of typical shots.
If you want to get more complex, you can add moving camera shots. Here are the typical examples.
