After discussing with my teacher, I realized that my stories mainly suffer from incompleteness. For example, the cyberpunk story and the magic hat story lack a clear beginning and ending. So this week, I will refine my storyboards and start using Maya to build 3D scenes and create a previs video.
Starting with the cyberpunk city story, my teacher suggested adding a news report about the theft at the beginning to provide context for the audience. Additionally, during the chase sequence, I can enhance the tension by including police cars and shooting scenes.

In the second scene, my teacher suggested adding a shot of the puppeteer reluctantly shedding tears over his puppets, as well as a shot showing how he eventually puts them down. This will help improve the coherence between the shots.

In the third story, my teacher suggested adding a scene showing the protagonist’s loneliness, indicating her deep desire for a friend. In the end, although she doesn’t get the unicorn she wishes for, she gains many other friends instead. So, I drew the beginning and ending scenes. In the final scene, the girl happily runs outside with her animal friends.
