Storyboards and Sting ideas

 I would make the above world for the overall animation but I would like to use the whole thing as a sting since i could have it role in frame and light up...

So I made this storyboard- its based heavily of the London international film trailer previously researched.

Ive tried to explain it all below 

So the first shot- would be all the presenters sitting on there moped (7 is a lot so a few of em are going to have to be background figures) looking at the Welcome to Brighton sign which would be framed with lights (las Vegas style)

It would be really good if i could get- hair colour/style and skin tone of the presenters - since we decided to put goggles on them those are the only other defining characteristics Ill need to create people that look a bit like them. (obviously the style means it wont be exact and ill try and keep the figures failry generic so if they ever leave it wont effect the titles)

The second shot would be a cut to a stylised Brighton map- with the welcome to brighton sign visible at the top and 7 red dots shaped like an arrow near it (so its like the start of the journey)

The third segment in my head would be like the video i sent you in a previous email- there would be one presenter (i know i put three in the board but I wanted to discuss this with you) the curved world would be spinning- to the first landmark - the duke of yorks. there would be other paper cut out background detail which would be almost silhouetted. The duke of yorks would have all the windows alight. The background sky in this shot would be sunset colours.

The next shot would be a close up of the legs im not sure whether a cut or a zoom would be used, I would place lights (either wrapped around the legs or framing the outside shapes) that would individually light up (ideally to the music), the sky is still sunset.

In the next shot it would cut to the curved world - this times the presenter would be different- im thinking one presenter per landmark. the next landmark i have on the list is the clock tower but im not sure if this is right - i did my best to plot the route via google maps! anyway the same principle as the previous curved world shot (an idea taken from the vimeo vid) it would curve round as he the new presenter travels forwards to the clock tower (i know they put lights up round it at xmas so ive included these). The sky is getting darker so its a darker sunset with some purple/blue in the sky. 

Then the close up of the clock tower with all the various lights lighting up one by one.

cut to Another curved world shot- different presenter, darker sky- its a twilight sky now all predominately purple and blues with only the slightest hint of orange. this location would be the north laines sign (again im using this one cause i saw it at xmas and it would allow me to light up the words) 

cut to the close up of the sign lighting up.

cut to the curved world, different presenter- darker sky still - maybe a few clouds to break up the space- to the brighton dome

cut to close ups of the windows in the dome lighting up

Cut to the curved world seafront - i was thinking those colourful beach houses- dark sky few stars - different presenter again 

cut to close  up of the houses lighting up one by one

curved world pier- different presenter- navy black sky stars and moon 

cut to close up of the pier lights

then like the beginning all 7 presenters staring at the latest music brighton lights sign- cut to the above shot of the map with 7 dots all at the end of the journey next to the sign. Then a zoom into the Brighton Lights words would be the end.

If I dont have enough time to do all these locations I would ideally liked to cut out some of the locations and then put two presenters within one.

So far Im happy and want to start making but I am waiting on Vals approval!
