Laura's Star Animatic

This is our storyboard for the opening of our animated film Laura's Star. Last monday we drew each shot on a piece of sticky note paper and layed them out in order on the table. Unfortunatly taranpreet wasnt with us today, but we managed to film each shot of the storyboard to give us an idea of what our film will look like. In the story, Laura finds a broken star on the floor outside her house and she fixes it back together. In the morning she discovers that the star had disappeared and she is upset, but at night the star reappears and she understands that the star can only come out at night. Laura ties some balloons to the star to take it back up to where it belongs.Hannah and i uploaded the film and edited it on i-movie. We cut out unwanted parts so that is flowed more evenly, and even added sound effects like a sparkle for the star and a splash for a puddle. It does seem a little cheesy, but hey its from a childrens storybook, so i don't think theres anything wrong with a little magic touch :)
