Task 6 – Storyboard

Introduction

In this task I will first begin by creating a basic story board for the following movement cycles;

1. Walking
2. Running
3. Jumping
4. Lunging
5. Spinning

I created these story boards using adobe Photoshop. These particular story boards are basic and do not show a lot of the action although I am only using these story boards to plan out each movement. I will be creating a more detailed story board which will include the time frames.

Walking
In the walk cycle, I want the puppet to walk past the camera and do a simple wave to the audience and then walk off the scene.

Running
The running cycle will be similar to the walking cycle although the movement will be a lot faster and I wont be including a wave. I want the player to rush past the camera like its running away from something.

Jumping
The puppet will walk on to the scene and simply jump onto a box and back off the box. 

Lunging
The puppet will walk onto the scene and stop in the middle to do a lunge and stand back up to walk back off the scene.

Spinning
The puppet will walk onto the scene and begin to spin when they are in the centre of the scene. The puppet will suddenly stop spinning and walk off in the direction it is facing in i.e if the puppet stops spinning when facing in the left direction then the puppet will begin walking in that direction. I might add other animation effects such as the puppet being to dizzy to stand up and begin to wobble.
