Narrative: Updated Storyboard

Here is our final storyboard, at a later date I will recreate this within Photoshop but now  our group has the narrative figured out we can go onto more character designs and environment designs.

Fantastic Voyage: Spore Scene Re-colour

 

Changing the spore colour to the original colour that I had at the begging with the yellows

Fantastic Voyage: Storyboard/narrative Revised

 

Going back to my  narrative I have decided to make this animation based on ferns after forest fires and how it can life back to an environment these are called bracken ferns. So I have changed the colours to represent the changes in environment. 

The major differences is the narrator (the silhouette's hands at the beginning) is shown in the beginning scene talking about the forest fires and he blows the fire out to then follow the ashes from the flame into the scene. The fern that is shown in the early scenes will be changed to covered in ashes to represent its fight for survival with a lonely leaf sticking out of the pile.

The rest of the animation will stay pretty much the same apart from the ending with the ferns growing back from the ground to then zoom out to reveal a landscape full of ferns and giving life back to the environment. I want the narrator to end the scene as well. Therefore I will zoom far out to reveal a landscape and his hand come over as it goes from a burnt landscape to a green luscious landscape with him talking about how it brought life back to the earth.

Although this is quite rough it gives me an idea for a script and this now allows me to start production in Maya, a few scenes need a bit of work to how they are going to look in terms of colour as im not sure on the purple of the spores and how the sperms are going to look too. 

I was looking at how objects are represented in the three brothers and I may just silhouette the spore and the sperm with a strong light source behind them and use a morphing method for the close up of the spore into a gametophyte and then the style will change when the environment changes at the end into a more magical environment. Although if people think the purple works and the style will be more consistent like that then I will keep them as they are feedback is more than welcome.

In my scene I wanted to focus on one of the characters on the top of the image and to show them traveling through the image as if they were there, so I used the character that looks like an animal and behaves similar to a cat, likes to explore and escape mischief.

It's all about him travelling through the tree lines at first and he gets interrupted by some strange sounds he then jumps onto the ground where he see's the horror of the creatures and what they are doing, so he decides to flee up onto the archway/bridge. He then proceeds to find the imp ontop of the bridge, and decides to look over at the scene from above, this is when we reveal the overall image at the very end.

If it were to go onto animation, I think I would keep the creature a sillouette and play around with the shadows with him blending into the shadows as he goes through the trees. Now onto the animatic :)
