GRRRRR......

I am starting to get a little tired... everytime we meet, everything seems to change! something that was set in stone two days ago, will suddenly be a problem and be changed, then be changed back to the orginal idea. Obviously the whole point of this is to let the project evolve, but we seem to be floating up in the air with nothing decided upon, and its only a couple of days until the pre-production presentation. It just one group member who keeps on changing their minds- they are fine one day-upset the next. As i say its a bit tiring. Especially as im meant to be producing the storyboard, which as soon as i work on and develop, the next group meeting will make irrelevant, because of changes that i haven't been told about. grrr....

Anyway, here are a couple of the story board scenes which are now not going to be used:

(sorry for the poor quality of images i should have ramped up the contrast, oh well)

Old Hamiltion Hawkins, Narrator introducing the scene

American officer appear in scene

Young American Officer, pulls out a younger version of Hamiltion Hawkins

 out of the Older version

American Officer disappears and the Hayle environment made of drawings

 and old photos, pop ups like a story book.

(Transition Device): Bullozer drives onto screen and pushes the Hayle 

environment off screen right.

Bulldozer drags on typewriter onto screen

I feel like i have been flying blind a bit with this storyboard the director is not giving me any clear idea about how to transition from scene to scene, and how she invisions the layout on the screen. Im not sure if thats her job or mine, but i at the moment everything i seem to draw is wrong :(

The first scene above has been taken out because we think this action will take longer than the audio allows and its quite compicated introduction the animation. We have decided to merge the old man narrator with the pop up Hayle scene.  Holly, who came up with the typewriter idea has decided she doesn't like the bulldozer transition so i am going to have to come up with something else.
