I spent this week whipping up some storyboards featuring the characters, courtesy of Toon Boom Storyboard (thx Cheryl!) The basic storyline so far is as follows:
On a charred battlefield, two fighters face off. After a brief exchange, they are accosted by a powerful monster, who quickly defeats them both. The two opponents realize their only chance of victory is to put aside their differences and fight together. The monster attacks again, but this time one fighter counters and manages to hold the foe powerless. The second fighter then leaps in with a mighty slash and finishes the monster off. After a brief exchange of mutually respectful gestures, the fighters part ways, leaving their weapons as a testament to their ongoing alliance.
The biggest difficulty by far with these storyboards has been scanning them into the computer individually, as it is very time consuming.
Toon Boom Storyboards really helped a bunch with this process, enabling me to quickly and efficiently combine my scanned storyboard images into a single video without having to resort to a program like After Effects or Final Cut.
