Man Vs Nature storyboard

After some planning and finding a suitable location i made a "basic" storyboard, since the buildings were going to be the main point of focus (until the meteors and vines arrive). i needed them to LOOK like buildings. so i kinda cheated... after taking a few photos of the location i sent them into GIMP 2.8 (or Photoshop,) and began to trace them..

*note: Basic story idea*

In the 1st shot, we are waking down the street, a normal-ish boring day, till and abnormal flash, followed by the faint sound of thunder attracts you to look up...

After looking up to see the sky get  darker as a red and black storm cloud rolling passed. with it you see a few meteorites rocket across the building out of eye shot. then there is another flash as a larger meteor falls towards you..

The meteor lands  by the side of the o2 academy. as the person (camera) moves closer to investigate, vines and plant life starts to grow from the meteor and an un natural speed and erratic motion...

The vines continue to grow across any surface it passes, and screamingly towards the camera (you) untill,,, the area that was once beloning to 'Man"' has now been "Re-Claimed By Nature"









With the storyboard done, it was time to make an animatic, here it is, basic sound effects were added.
