Title sequence (Perks of growing up)

Here you can see my story board for my title sequence (Perks of growing up). The sequence is made up seven still shots, all which will be hand drawn and edited. I have decided that there will be no dialogue, as the scenes will be telling a story, through the imagery. The concept of the title sequence is that, the caterpillar will represent Max’s life and the sudden transition from a school boy, in junior school, to a teen, in secondary school. This sudden change will be demonstrated in the sketches, when the caterpillar suddenly changes to a butterfly.

The idea for the title sequence was inspired by, the closing credits of ‘The Tigger Movie’. They had still sketches of the characters, but the only thing that was moving in the scenes was the credits. I wanted to take this idea into my title sequence; to execute my idea I would have to use the method, ‘stop motion’ which will allow my titles to come in one by one (letter by letter). Unfortunately I was not able to demonstrate this properly on the story board, as it will take forever to do, instead I wrote about it on the story board as best I could.
