Storyboard

Reads from left to right, top to bottom:

1 - Pigham walking along a road.
2 - He notices an apple on a near by tree.
3 - Close up of his face with his pupils replaced with the apple.
4 - Close up of the apple with a glowing background.
5 - He tries to jump and grab the apple a couple of times.
6 - He then tries to climb the tree, getting further and further...
7 - ...but eventually falls down.
8 - He then tries to punch the tree.
9 - He becomes fustrated and walks off screen.
10 - He suddenly dives head first into the tree...
11 - ...but only ends up hurting himself.
12 - Pigham sadly decides to give up.
13 - He decides to give the tree a kick...
14 - ...before walking away.
15 - The apple suddenly drops on his head.
16 - Close up of him happily holding the apple.
17 - Suddenly, a near by rabbit grabs the apple from his hand.
18 - The rabbit taunts Pigham and then runs off.
19 - Close up of Pigham's eyes twitching.


I decided to keep the position of the camera at the same angle from scenes 5 - 15 because I thought that it would be effective to have the whole process of trying to get the apple in one shot. I also thought that keeping the camera stationary for the most part increases the effectivness of certain parts, such as scene 9 where he walks off screen. However, I may decided to experiment with the camera when animating in order to find a more cinematic angle.

Regarding the rabbit character, in the storyboard he only appears right at the end. I believe having a new character suddenly appearing at the end of the animation like that almost cheats the story. So I will most likely include the rabbit in the rest of the animation by placing him infront og the tree and watching Pigham trying to get the apple.
