This storyboard starts from bottom to top. The native female warrior at the bottom approaches a cliff. She is surprised to see a five headed beast appear from a swamp behind her. Her friend appears from far away and strikes the creature form a distance, scoring hits on all heads. The top storyboard has the creature growing another head and trying to strike with her back turned. She kills the last head and it falls, forming a bridge across the cliff for the two natives to pass.

(Starting from the bottom board first from left to right:)

Panel 3 She fully turns around as the creature reveals most of it's length

Panel4 From a distance her companion takes careful aim with her bow and arrow

Panel 5 One of the heads tries to take a bite at the native near the cliff. The arrow is infused with mystical incantations that give it specialized powers. It flies behind the the creatures head.

"MOVIE TRAILER"

Mr. Richner below are some sites for research

These are some of the websites that I have looked at for the trailer that I wanted to do. The trailer will be a animatic, like something you might see at the beginning of a movie feature. I am currently in the process of creating characters and seeing how to get some visual shots in there. The storyline is centered around an ancient tribe of people who complete in a tournament against each other. I looked at the Mayans, Incas, and Pacific Islander cultures.

Changed the next week written on 3/09

This idea has changed into a 25-40 second piece that is not a movie trailer. It is something that is taken from a movie. The characters have been reduced to only two, and the "tournament" concept is no longer being used. Instead two female natives due battle against a multi headed creature while trying to cross a canyon.

Mr. Richner have you seen my blog yet?
