Advert Storyboards

These are the actual storyboards, drawn up neat, used to create the animatic you saw in the previous post. I think they come of quite well. However, I know realise that this project is going to be a lot of work. For approximately 30 seconds of animation, I am going to have to draw about 750 drawings. That will take weeks, not to mention working on the showreel for Dan. Then there is inking and colouring in the drawings. Then there is also the Maya animation and the rendering. I hope we get it done in time.

Advert Animatic and Live-Action Reference

Well, I scanned some rough storyboards I did with Al in college and have complied them in a mock advert. I had to be careful of the timing as the advert can only be 30 seconds. It was tough but I think I managed.

I also shot some live-action reference of myself acting through the advert. I compiled this also into a mock advert. This was mostly to help me figure out the timing, but I shall examine it thoroughly to have so reference for the actual animation production. I hope to start that soon.

Enjoy!

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.

Rough Storyboards

Here are some rough story ideas that I have had and drawn in some rough panels. This first one is based on the real reason why when the sign says don't step on the grass, you really shouldn't step on the grass.

This is inspired by the cartoon Roller coaster Rabbit. Also it's about the little guy facade being shattered.

I like this one, it's simple and Tex Avery-ish.
This one is Only Fools and Horses all the way. I am a bit afraid that not much happens in it though.
This is possibly my favourite as it features all three characters and is quite random.
This one is just silly. It's quite quiet though.
I don't really know about this one. He explodes, reforms, laughs and does it again.

This on I liked but some people think it is a bit too gross. I just liked the idea of these very refined characters picking each other's noses.
The idea here was that the two characters are that these two are auditioning for new Nickelodeon cartoon characters. Unfortunately, they come dressed up as previous NickToon stars.
This one works quite well. The idea here is that they have hijacked your T.V because the audience has put on rubbish television programmes.
