"Create a game trailer animatic." I was initially very scared of this assignment because I can absolutely not draw, and my parents were never keen on letting me play video games. Everything about this project was waaaay out of my comfort zone and skill set.

To battle these obstacles, I chose Pacman as the game because I figured I wouldn’t need to draw much for it, and it is one of the very few games that I have played. My fresh take on the game was to add portals that only Pacman can jump through and use this to sneak attack the ghosts.

I created a rough storyboard (see I told you I can’t draw) to get an idea of how the trailer’s story would play out, and then built the game world in Photoshop by simply drawing a bunch of straight lines. I added .png images of the characters that I got off google and hence, averted drawing entirely. Yay!

Completing this assignment (and being happy with the end product) was a happy achievement because I realized I can explore things out of my comfort zone and be good at them too
