when storyboarding both animations i tried to pay extra attention to the way things are framed and the differences between the two. I noticed that anime often uses more static panning shots with more dynamic camera angles, often using close ups with slow zooms to show drama so i tried to incorporate this into the anime animation. Furthermore i wanted to show a bit more dynamic action with Hester running at the camera before turning back, to contrast with the more still static shots. I also wanted to incorporate a close up of Hester running in order to illustrate the use of speed lines to add extra effects.
I then storyboarded the western animation. Another key feature i noticed was that the camera direction doesnt change much, furthermore there are rarely completely 90 degree shots of characters, they are nearly always showing their whole face to the camera whereas anime often goes for a full profile view so i tried to incorperate that. I also noticed that often anime shows more of the characters reacting to things happening whereas western cartoons show more of the actual action taking place so i tried to show this with Tom grabbing the back of hesters coat. I also noticed there isnt as much shot variation, with it mostly being mid shots and full body shots, with the exception for the wide shot as an introduction. I also wanted to incorperate more background characters as there are often much more noticable background characters. Adventuretime for example has a huge range of recognisable characters that often only show up a few times in the entire season.
