Me and Emma finally sat down to get our idea storyboarded. We knew we wanted our story to be built up of a series of walking attempts by the child, but we didn't know how many we were going to be able to fit into a minute, and at what camera angle we were going to show each attempt. In an attempt to work out the timings for each walk/stumble, I searched for reference material on YouTube of children learning to walk. I looked for small clips of how we could have the child move and timed how long they lasted as a basis for our timing planning. We started with the first and end scene as these we essential to the story and then estimated how many walking attempts we would be able to fit inbetween.
Storyboard (Actually Scanned In, Too!)
We also discussed briefly what character design we would like to go with. We decided that we are going to stay clear of robot designs, as we feel that a squishy character or one that is based on an animal is going to be 'cuter', giving the animation a more loving and heartwarming feel. With this decided we are going to design more animal characters before we come to a final decision.
