During the walk around, multiple faculties had mentioned that the storytelling style of the piece is special but hard to manage, and the team felt that way too. After discussions and a close look at the storyboard together, we rearranged the original storyboard and made a version without too much backward storytelling and jumping between two timelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vita-animation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1714449620-1024x270.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vita-animation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1714449620-1024x270.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vita-animation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1714449620-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vita-animation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1714449620-768x202.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vita-animation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1714449620-1536x405.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/vita-animation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1714449620-2048x540.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Rearranged Version of the Original Storyboard<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a detailed discussion about the idea with our mentors, we decided to hold on to the original storyboard in the pre production package and started making a white box animation as soon as possible.
