Description Snatch (Final cut!):Ā vimeo.com/139473769

Update 2/24/15: So my storyboard was chosen to be pitched to Reel FX! I'm pretty sure this guarantees that it'll be made into a short which is amazing. I'm looking forward to working on it x)

Edit 2/15/2015: Updated the boards. Hopefully it's improved? Haha. You can see the older version here .Ā 
I'll be pitching this newer version on Monday and if it gets picked I'll be working with Reel FX to get it animated!
Wish me luck! x)


Another storyboard for school that I pretty much drew within 24 hours. needs resuscitation

It was supposed to be a storyboard for a 30 second short but I ended up going overboard. In our class teams basically pitched variations of the same idea, and chosen ideas get to work with Reel FX (The Book of Life) over the summer to produce the actual storyboard. I really hope I get chosen but the competition is stiff!

Dedicated to the bratty children of the world.

I have to agree this one is much more interested and animated, I love the panel of her trying to pull the bear out of the machine.

Congrats on it being picked!! Can't wait to see it actually made!Ā

Glad to hear you think it's been improved!!
Thank you. I'm curious to see how it'll end up too!

this one shows off her brattiness more than the other one. Which is good. She was a lot less freaked out by the roaming claw than I would have been. I would have dropped that polar bear so fast.

sevenluck In reply to IcarusHector [2015-02-15 18:30:37 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad that's showing more! Thanks for letting me know, it was something I was supposed to improve with the revision.Ā 
Yeahh I wouldn't want the bear that much either haha.

IcarusHector In reply to sevenluck [2015-02-15 19:04:44 +0000 UTC]

Glad I could be encouraging. the only other way to expound on her brattiness would be her bullying the parental/guardian unit into forking over the money or throwing a tantrum, and i get the feeling that would be A LOT OF WORK to animate.Ā 

the last panel with the bunny still freaks me out. I really hope this gets animated. If it did, where would we eventually find the finished product? Would you post it here or would it even be available?

sevenluck In reply to IcarusHector [2015-02-15 19:17:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. The catch is that this is only supposed to fit within 30 seconds, so I had to make the sequence of events snappy. It's already a bit of a stretch if this could fit within that time frame but I'm hopeful haha.

Good! XDĀ 
If it ends up happening I'll definitely see if I can post the finished animation here or link it in a journal. Should be available but I guess it'd depend on what Reel FX has in mind for these animations- that's not at all clear right now.Ā

I thought I remembered there being a time limit. It will be a tight squeeze but i think it could make it. I look forwards to hearing how it goes!

Now I have another reason to hate those damn crane machines other than the fact that I can never win any of the prizes And then you get people like my friend who ALWAYS win, and sometimes ends up with double prizes...

Best of luck with getting your storyboard chosen!

sevenluck In reply to FeralFighter [2015-02-15 18:28:45 +0000 UTC]

Haha right? I don't think I've won ever XD
WHAT double prizes, that's a stab to the heart right there.

Thanks so much!

Ā I'M NEVER PLAYING A CRANE GAME AGAIN! ... That said, I am much too fat to fit through the goodie hatch.

Anyway, a delightful, and disturbing, concept that I certainly hope at least got runner up in the sales pitch.

sevenluck In reply to IcarusHector [2014-12-31 07:44:02 +0000 UTC]

It'll figure out a way to get your somehow XD

Thank you very much! I think I have another pitch in February. I just have to fix a couple of things first and then I'm set! Ā

theBATCLAM [2014-11-30 17:43:54 +0000 UTC]

Welp.

Very nice work for that timeframe, I hope it got picked! It's a pretty creepy concept.

sevenluck In reply to theBATCLAM [2014-12-01 06:35:49 +0000 UTC]

haha XD no regrets

It got 'nominated' so to speak. I have to make a few edits to it and then a final pitch will decide who goes on. I'm glad I have a shot though!Ā 
Thank you!

Great job, that's all kinds of creepy. Reminds me of the old Goosbumps-type stories.

It's been forever since I've read them so it could turn out that they're absolutely terrible, but back then they were amazing. ...suddenly have the urge to go back and read some.

Dude you really should take Pre-Pro next semester! It's such an awesome class. I would take it again if my schedule wasn't so busy already XD

saxitlurg In reply to sevenluck [2014-11-08 04:15:12 +0000 UTC]

Dude, I actually am! I just signed up for it this afternoon haha! I didn't even know it existed, but then I saw it in the class lookup and the clouds parted, angels sung, it was like a sign from God. (you have no idea how much I've been desperate for a class that teaches storyboarding and story development)

sevenluck In reply to saxitlurg [2014-11-08 04:22:21 +0000 UTC]

Yayy! Yeah, I think it was recently put up because I didn't notice the class when I was on coursebook a few days ago. I think you're going to love it because that's pretty much what it is. He shows you the basics and you run with it to tell your own stories. (For the first few assignments it's a given story but it's always your interpretation)

saxitlurg In reply to sevenluck [2014-11-08 04:24:21 +0000 UTC]

Well then it's a good thing I was late to the party! (I forgot about signing up for classes until yesterday morning) That does sound awesome! So he's a good professor? What's the outside class workload like?

sevenluck In reply to saxitlurg [2014-11-08 04:40:51 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh, I hope you were able to sign up for the ones you wanted!
It's Todd, and I think one thing I've noticed about him is that if you show that you care about your work he'll care in return. It's a fair deal and he gives everyone good feedback regardless of art or "idea" level.Ā 
Workload, well, it's best not to leave it to the last minute XD Storyboards, character design, key image, set design/props + the pitch is what he expected for this most recent project and it was all on one person. That's what the workload looks like at the rear end of the course, but in the beginning it's not bad at all and is still really enjoyable.Ā

saxitlurg In reply to sevenluck [2014-11-08 16:21:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I didn't have any problems with that. What about you, did you get everything you wanted/needed?

Okay, thanks, I was really worried. After this modeling class, I'm terrified of overloading myself now OTL

no problem xD figured if you plan on doing more with this, it should be fixed :'D glad you managed to get away with it until now

whoa spooky

I really like this! There's just something special about storyboards that I can't describe :'D

sevenluck In reply to Zephyr-azure [2014-11-08 02:01:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm getting a kick out of boarding and sharing story ideas in class. It's definitely making me feel more confident about making comics.

That's really encouraging, I hope to take a storyboarding class someday :'D
