animation storyboard
idea: provide a moral lesson -> boy (atti-dude) and side-kick (mimushi) are running and mimushi stops, whileatti keeps on running; then atti stops and looks back and asks mimushi why he isn’t running, and mimushi says, “because i just realized, were running to get nowhere; by going fast we are wasting time, instead of saving time ” ·

atti: “what do you mean?” mimushi: “what i mean is, we are not savoring our present, our now, our only true existence; we are running to get old, instead of walking to stay young” · atti looks perplexed, and mimushi, sits down, picks up a flower, smells it, and savors it · end: “life little lesson # 1: you only live once & you only live now” ·
life little lesson # 2: the more you have, the less you’ll be
atti is collecting all sorts of things; pencils, pens, papers, stamps, mugs, etc; we see him in various places just buying and buying; he then goes home, where mimushi is waiting for him, and when he opens the door to his room, he’s just full of stuff · mimushi looks at everything amazed and asks, “why do you collect all these things?” atti (shrugging shoulders), “because i want to and because i can” · mimushi (still curious): “is there any other reason” · atti: “no, not really; it just has no meaning at all, i just do it and it fulfills me temporarily” mimushi: “and what do you do afterwards?” atti: “i just go and buy more” · mimushi looks perplexed · end ·
after this, not much else materialized · i setup the images in flash to try and accomplish a sketchy animation that would tell us what images we needed to get lip-synch, real life motion, etc. but all of us kind of got too busy · fortunately a few months down the road we were able to recollect our energies and organize our strategies to come up with a simple storyboard for sumimushi (his most important personality) · you can that animation here · and the rest of the animations for his multiple personalities, you will be able to see on its page ·
