This is a segment of our info-graphic story board

At The Biz Media we have been authoring an ultra-secret internal project concerning the state of online video.  We have finished the research, sketches and script.  We are now entering an animation phase.

The style is going to be an info-graphic video that uses a lot of simple but effective vector art.

We decided to build a series of “art boards” in Adobe illustrator, which were each 1920 x 1080. On each of these cells or key frames, we include drafts of our vector elements and with the audio script below in black and beside it an action script in red.

This is the first time we at The Biz Media have drafted vector art boards, usually we use pen and paper.  There are some things when putting something like this together:

1.  Have each art board as a separate layer and turn them off when not being used, this will ease the load on your computer

2.  Use no rasterized graphics or textures, these will really slow things down… a lot.

3.  Have very large spaces between cells for notes and animation stages.

4. Have a fast machine, Macbooks will not cut it.

Here are the settings used for this job.   Let me know if there is anything that you see to optimize it.
