Storyboards Explained

The name of my animation will be called "The Trails and Tribulations of Balloon Boy". This is a tongue and cheek reference to the the bad luck he goes through. I want to make some short sketches that showcase different comical things that happen in his life. Balloon Boy is a likeable character that seems very excitable and happy. But that happiness soon turns to sadness when time after time he gets hit with bad luck.

  • Introduction - The intro will be a simple 2D animation with an happy jingle and Balloon Boy inducing himself.
  • Scene 1 - This will see the birth of Balloon Boy. He will slowly gets blown up and enthusiastically says "I'm alive". (quote taken from Frankenstein; "He's alive!").
  • Scene 2 - In this scene Balloon BoldBoy rises to the ceiling next to the light shade. He's up there for a little while before he try s to get someone attention. Next his bad luck continues when the light goes out and a fly lands on his nose.
  • Scene 3 - This is a short scene where Balloon Boy gets dragged towards a wall due to static electricity.
  • Scene 4 - Here someone is undoing Balloon Boys knot. He pleads for them to not do it but he ends up flying across the scene and ends up splatted up against the camera where he slides down with a screech.
  • Scene 5 - Scene five starts with a 2D into saying "Balloon Facts" next the scene sees Balloon Boy telling the viewers a interesting fact.
