Drawing Class: Semester Two Week Four

Storyboarding Without Characters

How to give the impression of a story without any characters...at all? I had a few thoughts of what such a thing would look like, but was quite taken with the idea of Harry: The Apocalypse of Millennium Square.

My four (probably should have been six, but what have you) of the sequence were the final sink into desolation and the slight emergence toward life again.

Upon refleection, I suppose we could have coordinated the drawing out of ideas better to give better flow; worked on top of each other's  drawing to better blend the styles. Alas, that did not happen. Regardless of what could of been, I quite like the strange mishmash: somehow it complements the original idea.

 In the beginning, I had the trees on fire, and the roofs mid-collapse. 







Second, I had the fire rage out to just embers. Strangely, the leaves seem to be unaffected...

Okay, so the mistake got noticed and now the dead leaves are blowing away on the wind. Strange that I've made the trees downfall on a slower time to the rest of the environment.

And the dark skies are beginning to clear, The trees are just skeletons of themselves and most of the buildings are gone. I quite like the council building, so I didn't let it fall down too much. Naha.
