Storyboard

Courtney/Mikki Story board

The storyboard starts with the popular kid walking to a party with his pet rabbit, that is in a pink cage in the final production.  The next screen is the prep in the house, where the party is being held at walking toward the other party goers pets, then you see all kinds of cages with along with a pair of eyes.. After that the screen is where the rabbit coming out of her cage all tidy and with a neat pink bow around her bow, then she see the other animals and walking towards them. The next seen a ball is seen going by the rabbit and the rat who was already there, then the animals start chasing it. The bunny and rat leap at the ball before colliding into each other, as they realize what happen, the rabbit hair is no longer tidy and her pink bow is unraveled around the laughing rat.  The last two parts of this story board shows both the owners and pets being friends.

Animation Pitch - 50 points (Orange due Nov 15, Black Nov 18)

Animation Pitch – 50 points

You will be presenting your Portfolio Process Board to the class.

(sections: Story, Concept Sketches and Storyboard)

Before you may begin to animate, you must pitch your story, concept sketches and storyboard to the class. This entails you and your partner presenting your Portfolio Process Boards much like the Pixar video provided.

You will discuss your storyboard, character development, visual style choices, colors, camera movements and anything else that you would like input on.

The motive here is that you’re receiving feedback from your peers/audience so they may provide helpful input that could strengthen your story.
