Storyboarding

With my idea set in stone, it was time to start storyboarding my introduction sequence.  The main challenge with this was making it dynamic enough to be exciting and humorous. 

The first shot involves the camera moving forward in a scene, with each character popping out from left & right to introduce themselves, before the camera moves back for the two characters to come back together with the show's logo.

The second frame will be used to fully introduce the character of 'Big C'. The scene will consist of a camera pan from left to right, showing the character in front of a barbecue grill. 

The third shot will be a mirroring shot of shot 2, as this will be used to fully introduce the character - 'Small D'. This shot will be made up of a desert background, with an exploding make-shift barbecue - representing the antics that the characters will get up to.

The fourth shot will most likely be the most complex shot of this production. It will consist of a camera movement that will zoom in on a map of America, with a select path running through it, which the characters will follow in a truck. I also plan on having road signs pop up, displaying some of the credits of the production.

The fifth and sixth shot may also be quite difficult to get right. This will be composed of some green screen footage of a road, with a desert hills background, a orange & blue contrasting colours sky, and the swerving truck that the characters will be driving. The shots will end with the truck zooming past the right of the camera, before the logo and characters once again come back together to form the logo for the final shot. 

When it comes to bringing these shots together, I will be using this truck image as a custom transition, blocking the field of view for the scene to change behind it.
