Thank Jaime. Glad you're feeling better~! OK, first off the positives. You have started to include the backgrounds and work on some suitably successful camera angles and shot composition. The Mikey and Vince are certainly on model and recognizable. However, I'm confused as to where you're at with this assignment. This certainly isn't thumbnailing and it doesn't fit easily into the rough category thanks to the neater-than-neat linework. Please tell me if I am mistaken but I also do not recall this part of the script at all! Have you added this to the proceedings? If so, why? You know that that following the script is THE discipline in freelance storyboarding of any kind.

Yeah, I have a kind of boring part of the script and decided (mistakingly) to ad lib a section with mikey being tempted by junk food and choosing the apple in his hand instead. I remember last time that there was a call for gags, and you may recall a gag I thought of that I never presented, the apple is in setup of a potential to present that gag this time around.

I've eliminated the unsuccessful attempt at warner bros type temptation with the concession stand worker, and have pared it down to just Mickey seeing the concession stand and electing to ignore it and eat his apple instead. It can be easily edited out of the final batch if you don't like it, but I thought it might be a good way to establish his adoption of good habits in advance of the awkward dialog.

The very rough thumbnails I did earlier were instrumental in working out suitably successful camera angles and shot compositions. This was my first pass at rough boards with some worked out more completely. Perhaps the line work appears neat but I assure you it was laid down rather down-and-dirty. I've been practicing with an eye to avoid my typical super rough bad line work from before. This rough pass has also been instrumental in showing me what doesn't work, and coupled with the model I built I think you will be pleased at my new camera work with this project.
