 These boards are a rough representation of the opening scene of my animation. The shots without a background right now will be filled in later on.

Preproduction: Mood Board, Concept Art and Refined Pitch

Twin Dragon Dance Characters in sequence- Match Anouncer, Prince Aka , Prince Aoi Prince Aka and Prince Aoi are brothers, Aka the eldest of them.  They have spent their entire life in the Fire Lands training to become the King one day. Prince Aka is the more rational and logical of the two while Prince Aoi is the more spontaneous one.  Their clashing personalities and acquired skill has brought the duo to their final battle against each other, to settle the score once and for all.  

Pitch: Character Updates

Image
  These updates contain some rough sketches showing how the fighters will use their powers, at this point I think that  their limit will be two elements. The storyline I think I’m going to let it be more simple than I initially thought , the sequence will start with some light conversation between the fighters and then break out into action.

Pitch: Log Lines

The Concepts below are still quite vague but the ideas behind them are strong. I’ve taken story inspiration from some tv series’s as well as some cartoon/anime series that I’m fond of. A young man grapples the struggles of living a normal life and embracing his new abilities. His life up till now has been average and predictable but in this adventure he discovers more about himself, his past and learns to appreciate change. A young boy takes on a new challenge that takes him out of his comfort zone. He takes life a moment at a time and suddenly has to embrace a new way of doing things. In order to reach his goal he must first show that he can make the best of the situation he was put into.
