How to achieveGraphic Novel Style?

[Pradip Patil]

Thanks…

But the more I think the more doubts arise. Should this type of project be done completely in Motion?

I am more used to edit in FCP and then “send to motion” kind of workflow and then applying filters inside motion.

Since all the shots will be inside frames/panels, it makes sense to build the pages in 3D environment and then use the camera behaviours to focus on each panel.
Right?

Pardon me for such questions but have never worked in 3D motion projects.

If you want to move around from panel to panel then yes, you should do it in Motion. If there are any hard cuts or something use that as an opportunity to create another project file so your project files are not to big. Those filters I mentioned are in FCP as well. However, If I built the Target add I would have built it all in Motion. Hope this helps.

Hmm.. Now things are falling in place.
One more question,
Any suggestion on placing the frames/panels? I don’t want the space to be cluttered.
Need some project organizing ideas for such kind of work.

I think it would be best to keep each frame/panel in its own group. Be sure to name the groups so it is easier to find things when you need to make changes. If you wan the panels to be the same you can build your one group then duplicate it so it is the same, then make tweaks inside the panel as you see fit. This sounds like this is going to be a lot of fun. You’ll have to post it so we can see it when it is completed. Best of luck.

LOL! Then stop thinking about it and just start creating! 😉
