storyboard

I have been reading a lot of animation blogs, splinedoctors.com is run by a few pixar guys, and as usual they reitorate that th story is the most important.

STORY — no surprises there. The single most important criterion that you must not let suffer under any circumstances. More important than any character’s consistency, more important than any scene’s entertainment value or appeal, if you fail to convey the story point of a scene, you fail to tell the story. And that’s really what this medium is all about: telling a relevant story that will affect an audience. It’s the whole reason animation and indeed movies themselves were invented in the first place. An audience must be able to follow the story. And this is where showing your animation to your peers is vital. You can find ten different people that will give you ten different opinions on your animation’s appeal, but if half of them can’t understand what’s going on, you’ve got a problem on your hands.

So my two dinosaurs will fight over some land/girl and will be the reason of their own extinction. :)

Also on animating a snake like movement, instead of animating it frame by frame, I can just draw a long snake path, and then move it across the screen.
===============
Starts off by showing the setting in landscape. Focuses on each of the 2 dinosaurs, they smell each other, and race towards the other. a Dragon ball z style fight ensues for a little bit. they jump back and rest for a bit. they both charge up their ultimate attacks, and fire them. camera focuses on the beams closing in, and sceen goes white from explosion. the 2 dinos defend, and the electric/fire wave goes around the world killing all the dinosaurs, so we find out these 2 elemental dinos were the reason for the dinosaurs extinction. :)

Maybe more dinosaurs popped up after all the rexes died, so that doesn't need to be accurate for the storys sake.

will put up rough storyboard later. :)
