Rough Storyboard of my Initial Idea

Below is a rough thumbnail storyboard for the animation I intend to make at the end of the module. The piece is based upon the inspiration I gathered while I putting together images for the mood-board I posted earlier on in the blog. While I was searching for images to inspire me, I found I was naturally gravitating towards themes of baron landscapes and isolation; this is reflected quite strongly in my storyboard.

For the story itself, I was really interested in the idea of the unseen journey; the exciting and wild things that happen everyday that we don't even notice. My main character owns a small shop in the middle of nowhere that sells extreme tours, yet ironically nobody ever comes to visit. However as soon as the owner leaves his shop, the building goes on an extreme journey of its own, only to have returned by the time the owner returns. In summary, every day is a journey and every day has the potential to be exciting if you know where to look.

I am yet to decide upon timings for each of the shots in the storyboard, however I aim to produce a quick animatic in order to determine how long each panel should last.
