A Fox's Winter Tale

    

Inspired by the image from the previous post, I boarded a story that follows something like this:

Once Upon A Time there was a fox

And Everyday he searched for food but could never find enough

until one day he encountered a natural disaster that forced him to change his routine

and because of this, he encountered a baby and tried to save it from being killed by a bear

and because of this, the forest spirit came to thank him since it was her baby. The fox was adorned with a leaf on his forehead as a sign of forever friendship from the forest.

and ever since that day, the fox always had plenty to eat and someone to play with.

Tracing an Inspiration

A trace from a French drawing in what I could only assume was a children's book. Thinking of ways to turn this into a story.

Possibilities:

• Fox raises baby (Jungle Book, Princess Mononoke)
• Fox leaves baby and another creature comes
• Fox has to choose between baby and its own cubs
• We are in a magical world and these are not just foxes and babies but creatures of magic and imagination
• Reversal of fox and human: Fox goes through the forest finding interesting things, the climax is when he finds this baby, and comes back everyday to feed it. Then one day the baby is no longer there. He searches everywhere and puts up notices looking for this baby. He finds out it's been taken to a nearby orphanage and tries to free the baby. He succeeds, but at a great cost.Turns out the baby isn't really a baby but the next generation of the forest spirit.  The current tree spirit thanks the Fox by making his spirit a part of the forest.

This story revolves around family and loss. The attempt was to use the storyboards to create a moment. Feedback on revisions below:

Storyboards for a Mock Commercial

2010-2011.
I was going through some old files and found a storyboard of a mock commercial I did. Unfortunately I can't post the final video since it's under NDA, but it's nice to remember that even back then I thought this was fun.

Storyboards for 'House on Maple Hill'

House on Maple Hill.
2009.

I created this story about a girl who moves to a new neighborhood. When she finally grows to love her new house and neighborhood, she has to move away again. The house decides to follow her, but realized it can't go into the City. The house settles on a hill. Years later, when the girl is older, she finds this house on a hill while she's looking to buy a home with her fiancé.

The idea is to establish a pre-production pipeline, including storyboards and notes for a game trailer, that would then get passed to another team to actually film.
