Storyboards

The first story board I drew was based on the one legged pigeon. He gets bullied by his friends so decides to run away. He is sheltering in the rain when a cat comes up to him and says he can get the pigeon a new leg. The pigeon follows the cat however the cat was tricking him and eats the pigeon. This was just a first draft storyboard and needs work however it does go from a negative to a positive and back to a negative.

My first draft storyboard is about a girl walking with her father when the wind blows and the balloon blows away. They are both trying to catch it but can't so decide to walk away. The balloon then starts to chase the little girl and they play a game. The wind blows and the balloon gets stuck in the tree , the little girl tries to grab the balloon but realises it has a nice view of the city so decides to leave it up there. After talking with Chris he says he likes the story but says I should cut the whole animation down to the last two frames.

My second storyboard is detailed and is based on the last two frames of my first story. It focuses on the girl playing chase with the balloon and trying to catch it when it goes in the tree and eventually realising it is nice for the balloon to float away rather than being tied down with her.

I have watched a few short films the red balloon and the kite runner that i think relate well to my story, about the chase for something by small children.
