Sony Boy Storyboards

Hi, these are the storyboards Al and I are going to pitch tomorrow. I hope the product designs students like them.
Idea 1
In this idea the product becomes a fairy the transports Sony Boy to the three-dimensional future.

Idea 2

This was Al's little idea about showing the transition from 2D to 3D in a twirl.

Idea 3
This idea came from cheese adverts.

Idea 4

This advert was my first idea about Sony Boy finding the product whilst searching through the Sony loft.

Nickelodeon Pitching to Mike Completed

I have just pitched my Nickelodeon idea to Mike, I think it went well. I made everybody laugh and Mike said he liked the character's and situations. I will have to wait till after Monday to see. Fifteen people pitched which means five will be going away. I do hope that I am not one of those five.

Al and I have got to work on the presentation to the Product design students on Monday. Over the weekend, Al is going to come up with some background designs and models. I am going to draw the storyboards up neat to be presented.

We will meet Monday morning and practice. I hope it all goes well.

Updated Production Schedule

I was just informed yesterday that the day we have to pitch our ideas for the Nickelodeon project to Mike will now be Friday of this week. I freaking out right now. I have updated by production schedule because of this. I don't know how this effects the other dates however. The product design pitch is still on Monday. I worked on the production schedule on the basis that I didn't get the Nickelodeon Project.

Sony Boy Character Designs and Sony Ad Ideas

Here are some rough character designs based on Sony Boy. I got the design from those Sony Boy toy pictures I posted in a previous entry.
Facial Expressions for Sony Boy.

One Idea I had to show Sony had grown up since then was to turn Sony Boy into Sony Man. This was a hard challenge, to aged a character. This initial drawing is to bulky though.

This is more like the end result.
Here are some initial ideas I had for the advert. I will have to go over them with Al. We have to pitch on Monday 21st anyway, so we have to pull this together quickly. This first idea is that Sony Boy has placed a whole lot of old Sony products in a cooking pot and allows to to mature in a cupboard to perfection, revealing the product.


This was just a idea I had to turn the product into kind of a fairy god-mother type character. I don't think this one will go very far.

This one I like but I think it maybe a bit too long. Starting in black and white, Sony Boy is rummaging through the Sony attic, full of old Sony products. Seeing a glowing purple light coming from the device, Sony Boy goes over to look. A swirling purple vortex comes out of the device and sucks him in. Sony Boy swirls in the vortex, passing Sony products old and new and clips from previous Sony adverts. The swirling vortex disappears into the device, leaving the camera to fade the device away.

This one shows Sony offices and the main office of the founder of Sony, Masura Ibuka. Sony Boy jumps out of a picture on the wall to look at a secret envelope which turns out to in case the product. He activates the product and turns into Sony Man.



I will have to pitch these to Al and work on them for Monday. With that and the Nickelodeon pitches to Mike next week, there is just too much pitching.
