Story board for cinematic space


For my cinematic space my plan is to create a hand drawn animation. My original intent was to have the whole narrative within this piece but unfortunately I had to cut it down because of the time frame. (Read the pictures left to right) The narrative starts out with this person waking up in his own drool and awakening to a blank environment. He observes his surroundings and notices that there is a quadrilateral structure near by and chooses to head towards it. Once he arrives he opens the door and heads in. Once inside he notices a pyramid cut out of the ground and picks it up, afterwards he looks around to see if anything had happened as a result of his interference though nothing occurs. He then proceeds to head out of the structure; this scene is important for the whole animation itself because it symbolizes thinking outside the box. He sets the pyramid down, soon after an eye appears on the pyramid: a reference to the all-seeing eye. It attempts to communicate with the person so he picks it up to observe it closer though unfortunately he can not comprehend, so he sets his head on the point of the pyramid in disappointment. Suddenly the pyramid is gone and a third eye appears on the forehead of the person; this is how the all-seeing eye chose to communicate with the person, through its thoughts. The person is overwhelmed at first, throws up, and quickly transitions to a jubilant state of mind. He proceeds to manipulate his puke (without touching it) and throws it into the sky, it then becomes the sun. With the new presence of the sun the drool from the beginning gradually grows into a tree where all-seeing eye pyramids bloom; a reference to the garden of eden and the forbidden tree of knowledge. He picks one off the tree and sets it on his tongue, it evaporates, sizzling as it dissipates, and becomes smoke which he holds in for a moment. Afterwards he blows out letters which spell out "hye low brutha." These words rise next to the sun and circling it, ending my original narrative. Unfortunately I had to cut it to the part in which he opens the door due to the fact that hand drawn animation takes FOR EVER. Once he opens the door it will show his shocked face and loop back to the beginning so it's as if he gets knocked out and wakes up each time through the video. I wanted to get the sense of creation through destruction through this narrative, though with the cut narrative I think it will be more of a short narrative in which the viewer wonders what was in the structure rather then getting my original intent, which I'm satisfied with because this is just part 1; presented as if not which I feel must be made evident.
