After determining that my project needs to animate from a video, the first thing I do is storyboard, which is very important because making any video starts with a storyboard. But because of the reference video, the storyboard is very easy to complete. Because my reference videos are fixed shots and my main work is animal behavior research. So I didn’t plan to make complicated shots for the storyboard either. And because there is a reference to the action of the video for reference. The entire video content is very simple and not long, but some editing is required. First of all, Wan Cheng started to bite the screen immediately after sitting on the computer keyboard, so the part of the screen biting at the back of this video cannot be used and needs to be cut off. However, because the entire video is only 15 seconds in total, the time of the video after cutting out the clip that bites the screen is too short, so a part needs to be added in front.?

So I found another part of the video, Moqi stepped on the keyboard from my computer, walked over, then walked to the coffee table next to it, and finally turned around and walked over. In this video, Moqi kept walking, but did not sit on the computer in the end. However, because the final landing point was on the coffee table on the right, it just happened to connect to the part of the video where Mo Qi was sitting on the computer keyboard. So I put these two videos together. Of course it’s not just a matter of getting it together. When I walked at the last moment, Wan Cheng turned to the right in the video of walking over, but the video of sitting down turned to the left. So you need to pay attention when making this part of the 3D animation. And in the first video, Mo Qi was sniffing the place behind the computer for a long time. This is a cat’s habit. The cat’s sense of smell is very sensitive. When he goes to a new place or is curious about something, he will smell it first. And when you greet your cat, let him smell your hand first. But it was almost stationary for a while, and Moqi’s head was not aimed at the camera, I can’t be sure of his expression, although I can look for other videos of cats smelling things as a reference, but I’m not sure if it can match my cat. So I plan to delete this part as well.

The full version of the video, this video is more than a minute long.

The video of the cat walking around on the computer is added to the front to increase the duration.

In the end, the video clip of the cat sitting on the computer was unusable because it started to bite the screen, and because the above video turned to the right, this video turned to the left, so you also need to pay attention when making animations. Below is the storyboard.
