Storyboards


They're rough, they look pretty terrible, the other one I was working on looked better but it's more HQ, so we can use it as a basic animatic....

anyways here it is, Ill write a short description underneath.
1. Coffee cup, title overtop
2. Drop of cream falls in and swirls into the cup
3. Camera tilts across the cup, quick pie graph using the top of the cup to describe the contents of the average cup of coffee (Caffeine, etc) and then another to describe the most common types of beans/roasts
4. Pans over to the character's watch, to show what times most coffee is consumed at (in Canada)
5. Character is shown holding coffee from the side
6. Zooms out to background that is his house, then switches several backgrounds to show the places where the most coffee is consumed (home, work, coffee shop, etc)
7. Character takes a swig of coffee, as he puts it to his lips, he becomes a cross section with organs/skeleton overlayed, camera pans down and points to the effects that coffee has on the body.
8. Zooms out again and he is standing in a coffee plantation/
9. He pulls down a coffee tree branch and begins to pick the fruit
10. The branch detaches and is the sole focus on the screen, rotates with some facts about coffee trees (yield, fruiting season, etc)
11. Fruit falls away and becomes coffee beans, some facts about coffee beans, the beans are falling in space
12. Beans fall down into a burlap bag, which then begins to move along a convener belt, some scrolling info about coffee processing
13. Continues
14. Camera pans around to front of convener belt where there are multiple coffee bags which are rolling down the conveyor and into a large box on a palette to be shipped.
15. The palette is loaded onto a plane.
16. The plane takes off down a runway
17. Zooms out to south America which is the coffee belt, highlights countries in colours depending on their production levels.
18. Zooms out to the globe to further highlight coffee producing countries. Then the colours switch as the plane flies towards the USA. The colours now denote the countries which consume the most coffee.
19. USA facts
18. Finland Facts, then will scroll through a few other countries like Italy, France, Russia, etc.
20. Canada facts
21. Visualize most popular coffee chains in the country, building sign will change.
22. Back inside the building, to two people drinking coffee together and talking.
23. Zooms back into the cup. END.

    I understand the desired effect. But please acting this out and you'll soon see it's flawed.
