Animated Storyboard

Here is an animated version of our storyboard. It took the better part of a week to make and I have to say I'm pretty proud of it! My partner in crime was the master behind this master-piece, and with much hard-work she cropped each box on the storyboard and saved it individually, before compiling them in Windows Movie Maker.
This is what she had to say abut the process: "I had a lot of difficulty getting train sounds off of the Internet as I couldn't register to freesounds.org with my email address. After finishing the piece and conversing with my partner I realised she had an email address compatible with registering, so this will prohibit their being a problem when it comes to making the actual piece.
So instead of posting the storyboard silent I put on a piece of music. I chose the song 'For Blue Skies' by Strays Don't Sleep as it features a lot of the aspects that Marina and I were going to try and recreate using different copyright free sounds. For example, the clock ticking, and atmospheric sound. Additionally this was the song I was going to suggest to Marina that we use for our opening scene before I found out you could only use copyright free music. No copyright infringement was intended by me doing this.
Finally I set about trying to make an example of what the voice over conversation between Abby and her Mum would sound like. I did not have high hopes for this as I have a very low quality microphone and just really didn't think it would work but...it didn't turn out too badly! My Mum, always keen to help me, kindly stepped in to read Ellen's lines and I read Abby's. This will not be the final voice over as unintentionally there's a comedic value to the conversation due to just how many 'takes' it took to get it right. So enjoy and laugh it up...we did!"
