Break Progress – Scene Two

A continuation of some storyboards I did for a self-directed project called “Break Progress.”  I worked on these around Spring 2011 to practice animation writing and directing.

The story followed a woman who had to make a speakeasy before prohibition shut down her gin making operation for good.
