Alacrity of the Crayfish - Storyboards

Here are a few rough storyboards for my story idea. I hope time will allow me to fully develop this as I fell in love with it. On another front I’ll be in the job market soon. If anyone knows of any work in Southern California for a talented guy who just needs a little more polishing to really shine please let me know. I love the story tellers art and all things creative. While you’re at it - how about a little feedback? It doesn’t hurt honest, and it means a lot to those of us trying to take our first flight off the tree.

    A few years back Brad Bird did a couple of storyboarding guides that I have copies of and find very useful in setting the composition and framing of my shots. You should try and see if you can find them on the net, otherwise I could try scanning them for you. When I’m boarding my shots I do a basic framing while putting it together and then go back and review and try and make each frame more interesting in composition and framing.
    We can swap story treatments if you like to get feedback and bounce ideas back off each other.

    Cheers Neil

    Thanks Neil. I did a search and haven’t found them yet. Will try again when I get back from work as it sounds very interesting. I am open to bouncing those ideas back and forth if you like. :)

    Hey Burt, do you wanna swap treatments/synopsis for our short film ideas?

    Cheers

    Hi Neil. I emailed you. I’m open to the idea in a general sense but -given my lack of experience- need to know how we could share ideas yet still protect them? I hope to pitch some of the stuff, hence my question.

    G’day Burt,
    I was able to track down the linkx to the storyboard guides by Brad Bird.
    They are on the www.animationmeat.com web site. Very useful guides from a master director. Here are a few links:

    These are great!

    Cheers

    Neil
