Detailed Description of Storyboard

Scene 1:

• Old styled wanted poster pinned on brick wall
• Humpty Dumpty's face is on it in black and white
• Introduces one of the protagonists
• Sets the era that the animation is set in

• Poster is swaying from side to side slightly

• Sound of people chatting and general outside noises in the background

Scene 2:

• Close up of horses feet from about the knee down
• Many different horses but in different depth levels

• Horses galloping to the right
• Fast faced, quick action shot

• Sound of horses hooves hitting the ground

Scene 3:

• Medium close-up of a knight riding a horse with another knight on a horse in the background
• Wearing a helmet and holding a sword
• Can see the head and other small parts of the horse behind
• None of the horse in the front can be seen

• Movement of the sword up and down as well as the head back and forth
• Not sure whether I want this part in slow-mo yet?
• Knight in the background with same movements but to a smaller scale

• Battle cries of the knights as well as the sound of horses hooves hitting the ground again
• Dramatic music fades in at the end of this shot

Scene 4:

• Beginning shot showing the backs of about half a dozen knights on their horses
• Pan out to show full fleet of knights in triangular shape
• Tiny spot in distance is the back of Humpty Dumpty
• Ahead of him at the very top of the shot is the kingdom boundary marked with a brick wall

• Movement of horses legs and subtle movements of the knight as they race toward Humpty

• Dramatic music becomes the prominent sound as the battle cries fade at the same time the shot is panning out 

Scene 5:

• Long shot of Humpty Dumpty running side on
• Shows his full body as well as grass in the foreground
• Reaches the brick wall of the kingdom boundary at the end of the shot

• Awkward movement of Humpty's arms and legs as he runs awkwardly
• Camera follows him until he reaches brick wall
• End of shot he bends down putting his hands on his knees while puffing

• Not sure how to transition music and sounds here just yet

Scene 6:

• Low angle shot looking up to the king front on from about his mid section
• Has armor and crown on
• Shield in one hand with kingdom crest on it
• Sword held in it sheath/scabbard around the kings waist

• King drawing his sword from its sheath
• Speech bubbles pop out to the right of him
• "You have no way to escape now, my dear friend. I shall cut you with my sword and bleed you of your golden treasures."
• Or in Shakespearean: "Thou hast nay way to escape anon, mine dear cater-cousin. I shall cut thou with mine bodkin and ble'd thou of thy golden treasures."

• Some kind of intense buildup music?

Scene 7:

• Action shot of just the kings hands holding his sword
• Possibly just the edge of Humpty can be seen poking up from the bottom right?

• Sword cutting down from the top left to the bottom right of the frame
• Very quick scene
• Maybe held for a second at the start of the scene to build suspense
• Dependent on how long the rest of the animation is

• Suspense music

Scene 8:

• Over the shoulder shot of the king from behind looking at the broken Humpty Dumpty
• The brick wall of the kingdom's boundary can be seen at the very top of the frame

• Kings head slowly bowing forward is disappointment
• Humpty's yolk also oozing out further from his shell and bodily remains

• Music fading out to quietness
• Almost like its the end of the animation BUT ITS NOT. Boom

Scene 9:

• Birds eye view of Humpty Dumpty's yolk and egg whites in a frying pan
• More like scrambled eggs than clearly identified egg white and yolk

• Frying pan moving to move scrambled eggs
• Eggs moving at a different pace to the frying pan, delayed slightly
• Quick / short scene

• Sizzling / general cooking sounds 

Scene 10:

• Scrambled eggs put onto a plate from a bird eye view
• Plate on wooden table

• Empty plate then the bottom side of the pan passes over putting scrambled eggs onto the plate
• Pan passes over quite quickly

• More cooking type sounds

Scene 11:

• King and his knights sitting at a table eating breakfast, the last supper style
• Lots of plates, cups etc.

• Small movements of arms cutting things on their plate etc.
• Fades out to black

• Clanging of knives and forks on plates and quiet chatter
