animation storyboard


I want to make a short animation to accompy another of An Earth Tongues songs to also put on his MySpace to promote his music and gain interest. Above is a sketch of a tree that i would like to be the main subject of the animation as the song that will go with it is called 'Fractal Tree'. I also want to experiment with different programs to edit the animation - such as Flash and Final Cut. Below is a storyboard I drew which I want to turn into an animation using collage and drawings.


A seed begins to grow, the camera will follow the stem to the surface.


The seed grows into a tree.

Leaves then grow on the tree.

Cherries also grow and the camera pans to the top of the tree to reveal a bird.


The bird, with cherries in its mouth, flies off to its nest to feed its chicks.



The bird goes back to the tree to get more cherries and brings them back to the nest. This time the chicks have grown up slightly.


The bird goes back yet again to collect cherries and brings them back to the nest. The chicks are even bigger.


The bird goes one final time and when it returns the chicks are fully grown - this is to show the passage of time. Then one of the birds offspring flies off to the tree.
It sits on the tree trying to find cherries but there are none.
Suddenly the leaves fall off the tree and the growth of the tree reverses until it has disappeared.
