Storyboard Summer Work

For Stef, Greg, Tereza, and Gautam:

I'm having trouble finalising Katze's stand-off; generate some ideas, go crazy!

Storyboard a Stand Off - make it 20 seconds minimum. If the timing needs it, go over as you like, and if you want to make a full blown story, go ahead. When you get back I'll show you how to put it in AfterEffects and make an animatic, this will help your time to pitch stay awesome; Wintastic; Fabulous.

REFERENCE:
The Katze Storyboard is up on DropBox, under the public folder, reference it as much as you like.
