Over the next several days I’m posting 3 scenes from an animated movie I storyboarded a few years ago.  It was a movie of my own creation, one I started to write and board for fun and practice.  I won’t say all my shot and direction choices are entirely successful (it was my first attempt at making a sustained narrative after all) but there is still plenty of worth here.

I am just posting the images.  Normally these would be accompanied by character dialogue, camera, and script notes.

Here goes: 

Part 2:

More storyboards!  I had to break up some of the longer shots.  The bottom will have to continue another day.

The rest of the shot from a few days ago.

One very long shot featuring a dog running behind a fence.  The camera follows until the end of the fence and pulls out to reveal both the short lady walking into frame and the house in the distance.  Most complicated.

Part 1 of 2 of a very long … well it’s not a single shot, but it comes across as a single shot when in animatic stage.

I’ve put an archive of this series here for anyone who is interested.

Getting to the end of the scene now.  Archive of the whole scene can be found here.
