Welcome back everybody to Inking Grow Ridge best day on YouTube channel that absolutely nobody's watching My name is Vinny Delay and today I'm gonna walk you through a talk a little bit on commercial that I story more than less something I don't Care I part one of this episode. We're gonna take a quick look at the scripted treatment and then draw up the initial sketches Shall we begin All right, so today's job is a fairly straightforward 15 seconds pot Taco Bell has a new nachos party back in this is a commercial that's gonna announce it to the world We open on a house party but the group of friends just getting a night story some guy walks in carrying this huge Taco Bell box puts a down a table and it opens it up Everyone the party marvels at the insane amount of mouthwatering nachos Well then grab a few shots people eating cut to the logo and pull it a wrap So enough let's begin sketching Okay, so after reading the shot list the first thing I like to do is go online and download some reference films Shot one is a wide exterior of the apartment complex I found this random decent looking photo of an apartment building and drop that down into place Shot two is a wide interior of the party the director sent me this location photo in advance So I'm just gonna ahead and drop it like a tot and move on to shot two big which is the exact same shot except somebody is now putting an old vinyl record down in the foreground with those first three photos dropped down into place I'm now gonna go over to my toolbar and select my perspective tool I'm gonna set it to two point in general composition That'll give me a horizon line and two vanishing points which I can align with the architecture in this photo And now it's just a simple matter of tracing the building the perspective tool will align all my Pench strokes and the vanishing points while simultaneously allowing for perfect vertical and a horizontal lines I love this tool because to my knowledge there is no real world equivalent I mean other than a ruler which is super clumsy by comparison Photoshop doesn't have any native tools which achieve this however There is a $30 plug-in in coat lazy and assuming which does all of this and more So if you are using Photoshop and something you might want to look into Frame 2 is a wide interior of the party. I'll start by dropping some people into this seating area around this table Now the scene is supposed to be taking place at the beginning of the party so I'm careful not to overpopulate the shot And I'm adding a doorway here on the camera left side of frame even though one doesn't actually exist in the photo I did that by request of the director because I don't think this is gonna be the actual shooting location I think he sent me this photo to just sort of represent the type of loft he's hoping to find Okay, so let's add a few more people spread out around this kitchen island on camera right to breathe some life into the party And now that I've got the people out of the way I'll go to work on filling in this background architecture And finally I will finish up this frame by grabbing my chisel marker brush and adding a little bit of volume to this people Just a pop off the page a bit Shot to be we've got this turntable in the foreground So I'm going to select my oval shape tool Disable the fill check the stroke and then begin sketching up the turntable Before we go any further let's copy that turntable and piece it back into the previous shot as well Then we'll return the shot to be to drop this guy's hands dropping the record down The shot three will start by laying out the island in the foreground and we'll have some guy hanging out here on the camera left Well, please or door a bit off center towards the right side of frame with our hero entering the party with his huge box of nachos We'll drop another person on the other side of the island in the middle of round again just to reinforce that that sense of depth And finally a third party guest frame right to balance out the composition The next shot was to be going to punch in on the same axis. Let's grab that location photo blow it up a bit and This hero guy is gonna be standing in the middle ground dropping this huge box down on the table All the party guests in the couch are now leaning forward and sort of excited Like what's going on here? What's this guy bringing? And again, let's have a pretty even mix of people in the foreground and middle ground again just sort of reinforce that idea of depth Next we've got a reaction shot three of the guests with a little sense of awe on their face now rather than draw the three people the same size Which for some reason was my initial instinct. I'm going to take the middle person shrink them down to the background Grab the person on camera left below him up a bit and again This is gonna give us a little bit of a sense of depth So we got somebody to foreground somebody in the middle ground and a woman kind of in the background Dropping back to the previous frame for a moment I'm gonna go ahead and fill in the background Which for some reason I didn't do the first time and you know what? I'm gonna grab this circular table turn into a rectangular table the circular table just it just looks odd to me Let's clean up these three characters. They're looking a bit too sketchy to me So again, it's reinforced that this is a woman in the background here clean up her face a bit and Really just sort of sell that they're like what? There you go. This guy's looking much happier now and our guy on the left again Sense of awe and happiness like wow can't believe you just made this party so much cooler than it was before That is page one complete moving on at page two Moving on the page two the first three frames of this page can describe one shot It's a super wide shot as camera slowly pulls back with you in the enormity of the buttons the director specifically referenced this opening shot from Star Wars Ignoring the fact that mentioning Taco Bell and Star Wars in the same breath is an utterly heinous crime against humanity Seriously, I think it even came up in the Nuremberg trials We're gonna go ahead and draw the pizza box equivalent of that star destroyer shot except the box is slowly gonna be revealed Beneath the camera instead of above it so that we can actually see the nachos now the key night observers amongst you May have noticed that I'm actually trying tacos here instead of nachos Honestly, I don't know what to tell you. I must have mentally checked out by this point. No worries though But we'll adjust that when we create the final art and as you can see for each of these shots I'm also adding hands coming in and grabbing food Moving back to the first frame in this sequence. I'm gonna get ahead and draw the background in a little window here in brick wall And we're gonna copy this background and paste it to the next one but shrink it down a bit so that the camera has moved forward Fill in the rest of this brick wall and window and then of course do the same thing with the third shot Okay, so by now I imagine you must be getting a pretty good idea of my overall method for drawing storyboards All of these hands that I drew in the previous three frames are sort of getting lost in the background So what I'm gonna do is grab my chisel marker as always And I'm gonna draw a contour line around the hands just to make them pop off the page a bit Shortly after finishing these sketches out I kind of caught on to the fact that I should have been drawing nachos So the next thing we do is go online find some photos of hands holding nachos Copy them paste them in place over the hand sketches already drew and then you start tracing The director was kind enough to provide a photo and his treatment for this next shot, which he pretty much just wants me to copy So that's exactly what I'm gonna do And I'm gonna go ahead and add one extra person in here just because of your I can last two shots on this page It'll be two close-ups of people eating nachos. I dug around online for a bit Although I didn't find the exact photo I was hoping for I did find a few that I could photo bash together to create the action of one And just to fill in this negative space and camera right I'll go ahead and add a background guy He was also eating a nacho, but I'll make him soft focus so the attention remains on our hero girl For the second eating shot I found this nifty little photo of former president George W. Bush It just happens to be posing the perfect position So I'll drop his photo down into place, but I'll take the liberty of making him a bit younger It just be weird to have some random old guy at the party And once again sort of to mirror the previous shot I'll add a background person here eating a nacho and I'll get and make that person soft focus as well And Lastly the director wanted me to drop in a pack shot and finally talk about logo, which again I just hold off the internet and that's just about wrap up the initial sketching phase of this job All right, it's just about gonna wrap things up Part two this episode will shoot those initial sketches out to the director get his feedback and they drop the final books And as always you found this video insightful Lord entertainer like to see more of them in the future I need to subscribe until next time this is Vinnie the Lay with a garage
