My initial plan is to make a small animation for my Final Major Project. However, as I was playing about one day, I had this sudden idea of using my Lego as a way to help with the storyline. And so I made a screenshot like storyboard of the animation out of Lego.
Panel 1: An elderly man is in a lounge, reading through a scrapbook on a chair, looking through memories.
Panel 2: We go back in time through the photos to see children playing in a grassy field, a boy with a water pistol, squirting at the girl.
Panel 3: A young couple taking a picture in front of a statue in the park.
Panel 4: The teenagers from before at an altar. Their wedding day.
Panel 5: A simple day in the house, reading the newspaper, the cat keeping them company, when all of the sudden, the wife feels a pain.
Panel 6: First child. (parents early 30s)
Panel 7: Siblings! (daughter is about 6 here)
Panel 8: Camping fun with the grandparents. (parents, mid 30s, daughter 7, son, 1)
Panel 9: The son playing with his best friends. (son is somewhere between 6-10)
Panel 10: The daughter playing to her parents. (parents, 40s, daughter, 16)
Panel 11: Fallout between siblings. Daughter heading off to University, son stuck at High School. (daughter, 20, son, 15)
Panel 12: Family meet up. Son is in College while Daughter is in an engineering job. (Parents, between 50s-60s, Daughter, mid 20s, son, 19)
Panel 13: The parents’ later years, keeping fit, going for jogs in the park. (parents 60-70s)
Panel 14: Parents hitting old age, living the rest of their lives in retirement. (parents early 70s)
Panel 15: We return to present day to see the Elder being greeted by a young adult. This would be the son as he presents a wedding ring. (Elder, mid 70s, Son, late 20s)
This is pretty much what I’ve got so far. I’ll definitely be expanding on the storyboard as I go along.
