Journal II | September 6, 2017

This scene in the storyboard takes place near the very beginning of the animation, within the first 10 seconds. Three characters are leaving a restauraunt, where the main character is being followed by the other two. I was going to begin with the door opening, followed by footprints coming out. I thought it may be interesting to use one of the footprints as the begininng of the "D".

The scene I chose revolves around an argument over the main character, Mike, hitting a criminal named Tuco's car. To show the issue to the viewer, I was going to illustrate the car and show the scratch on it, playfully incorporating the text in the illustration.

Later on in the scene, Mike offers to exchange information and insurance in order to pay for the damages, but Tuco defuses, demanding cash. I was going to have an illustration of a dollar bill appear, and then have it fly away, revealing Mike's retort of, "Listen," underneath.

This final frame from my storyboard shows one of the first times Tuco gets really loud. The rest of the animation will feature mostly small text, so I thought it would be jarring to show him laughing in Mike's face, very large, and will create a contrast and change in the pace of the scene.

Here's a link a PDF of my storyboard.
