Freezing up while doing homework

Post Reply New Topic

I've been doing doing this storyboard project. In this final project, I have to write a short screenplay, draw a storyboard and animatic with Premiere. But as I'm tackling the screnplay first(with the story in my head), I keep freezing for some reason. I don't know if I should do this screenplay in Thai or English either as I feel like it's quite a week story in a way. But the worst has yet to come. As for animatics, dialogue is required. I really have a bad voice that will do no good to my characters. And I don't really want to bother with begging my friends to do the voice acting for me!

Is there anyway I can deal with this? I'm doing my best to buckle down and finish it up. I really don't mind if I tell the teacher that I don't want to see my project when I turn it in.

You could define your characters as deaf and dumb people. This way silly noises and vocalizations would be enough as dialogue. Put the emphasis on how they are acting and certain characteristics like body movements and exceptionally behaviors of the characters.

One definition of a friend is someone that is there for you to help you and vise verse. Friends actually enjoy helping other friends out. So ask your friends to help. Invite them over, tell them you will provide snakes and drinks, and that it will be fun being a voice actor for the day. They may even have some good in put. Reach out, relax and have fun!

About the script. Just make a first draft version without sound, that gives a better idea than worrying about some abstract idea.
With things like creativity you first have to make it concrete, before you know how it will seem to others and yourself.

I think it might be a very fun thing to do with your friends You could ask your parents if possible. Other than that that's a fact that most people do not tolerate their own voice for some reason. You could try modifying it with some program, changing ptich should do. That's how you can voice all of your characters by yourself.
