The Dominoe Storyboard
For my example story, I had a script with only a few words per image. If you want to be very organized, you might create a storyboard like the exmaple below. At a minimum, you should keep a text file with your captions or narration as you may find yourself copy pasting the text. |
I was in between. Fiercely independent, had money saved up, and some time before I went west. |
|
 |
My roommate called. Someone found a runaway dog. Dominoe. |
|
 |
Named her after the damsel in Sharky's Machine. |
|
 |
Malnourished, Skittish, afraid of a raised hand. |
|
 |
We walked into the woods, she always following a few yards away, my buddy. |
|
 |
One day we drove farther and walked in the autumn leaves. |
|
 |
Met an old friend. We chatted about 15 minutes, and I turned around. |
|
 |
She was gone. I was hours running up and down the trail, crying out her name. I was worthless. I could take care of myself, but no one else, worthless. [Note: This image is merely a cropped version of previous to emphasize emptiness] |
|
 |
Darkness. I would camp out, return the next day. I would do that every day unti I found her. Every day. [Note: An empty black screen is useful, sets a tone] |
|
 |
I cried back to the car... and there she was, waiting for me. My awareness became a circle of responsibility of more than just myself. |
|
 |
We drove across the country |
|
 |
My co-pilot |
|
 |
had adventures |
|
 |
saw strange lands |
|
 |
looked around |
|
 |
made a home |
|
 |
She departed permanently, but I never forgot what I learned that day in the woods. |
