Animation storyboard ideas 1... using stickmen!

I have decided to draw up my story ideas using rough images, otherwise known as the classic "stickmen" style of drawing. This isnt to say I cant draw my Characters in detail, its just so I speed the thought process up and get more ideas at a quicker pace.

I APPOLOGIESE FOR THE QUALITY OF THE IMAGES IM ABOUT TO USE BUT I HAD TO USE A CAMERA AS MY SCANNER DOESNT WORK.

First story is based on a greedy Baker who goes in search of Cakes around a Theatre, hoping to find some left over that the Actors havent eaten in their dressing rooms... little does he know hes wandered too far and ended up on the stage... heres the story!

1) The greedy Baker is sniffing around for Cakes and other Baked goods left behind by the Actors and such... again somewhat a random concept due to it being in "Cartoon land".


2) The greedy baker continues his quest and comes across a Barbell in the proccess.



3) The greedy Bakers expression suddenly changes as he "feels" something isnt quite right, as if hes been caught out. He looks up, expression changing to "Oh sh*t"... he realises hes standing infront of an audience at the theatre, hes walked onto stage without realising it. Theres a typical "tumbleweed" moment. 

                                      


4) The audience become impatient thinking the Baker is one of the acts and tell him to hurry up. He decides to try and lift the Barbell... but he comes to find its far too heavy for him to lift. He gets an idea... if he replaces the weights with Cakes then he can lift the Barbell.




5) The Baker then lifts the Barbell above his head and in a close up of his face you see a change in expression from victorious to strained and worried. The shot zooms out to reveal two people either side of the Barbell eating the Cake, held on by their mouths. As the Barbell is heavy once again they all crash through the floor. Scene end!
