Idea Building

Concepts & ideas Animals - Big german shepard & small retriever puppy. Shoes- A pair of worn out boots wants to be stylish like a pair of heels. Walkie Talkie idea - A broken walkie talkie wants to be like a speaker, to be loud and heard. Shadows- A person, animal or object in front of a light source which shows their shadow to be something other than what they are. Music box - Two music boxes in an antiques shop, one is a mechanical music box the other a ballerina. They both sing to one another but the old music box can’t dance or move like the ballerina and wishes he could dance with her, as seen in their shadows.

Storyboards

Maggie.C

Storyboards I looked at how the shorts could open and close and explored a different storyline.

Future plans ● Get a clearer message in our story ● Finalize storyline ● Look further into the phenakistoscope idea ● Choose our colour palette ● A dreamy style with more muted tones? ● Vibrant bold colours? ● What type of emotion/mood do we want the audience to feel? ● What style do we want to use?
