Captain Cook and Guy Fawkes Ideas and Storyboards

My initial ideas for CAPTAIN COOK
  • An exploration of museum artifacts
  • A narrative of his three voyages
  • Around the world - spinning globe
  • Journey through the eyes of Cook - his design and papers.
  • Animation from map/storybook


COOK Rough Storyboard - 
  • Start in present day - photograph of Cook monument. 
  • Move from a quote to show his three voyages. 
  • Pick out main points with visual imagery such as the Sun and Venus, trigonometry, algebra and astrology charts to depict his mission to track Venus traveling across the Sun or plants specimens and aboriginal tribes people to show his discoveries. These I will figure out from further research into specific details of his travels. 
  • Have line/map route running through the entire sequence to illustrate his skills as a navigator and mapper


COOK Final Storyboard:


I have decided I want to complete this sequence in After Effects again this time using more typography and my own imagery. 


Initial Ideas for GUY FAWKES

As the brief is to try different approaches and moods for each sequence I want to attempt to film parts or the whole of my Guy Fawkes work. From research my thoughts are to film parts of the gunpowder plot, I only really want to create a series of clues as to what happens. My aims for filming are as follows:
  • A gloved hand
  • A dark underground cellar - could use caves?
  • Gunpowder barrels
  • A spark
  • A fire
  • Leather boots
  • Writing of plans and warning letter (possibly put blur on text to only key point distinguishable)
