For example, a plot needs to be thought of. That is, the sequence of events in a story. The characters and settings are important too.This story is about a robot, Han. He works at a hotel in the city centre, but he has a problem. He always forgets things. One day, Han meets his friends, Fanny and Tim, at the pier. They are waiting for the ferry going to Lucky Island. Han says, ‘I’m happy. I bought a Palm Pilot. It’s useful to have. You won’t forget things.’ Fanny says, ‘Yes, Palm Pilots are useful. Here’s mine.’ Tim says, ‘Where’s yours?’ Han says, ‘Oh no! I forgot to bring it!’44-2123The charactersIn the second stage, the type of characters and their sounds are decided.Han is a very tall and large robot. He sounds funny because his voice comes from a computer. He has square eyes, not round ones, because they are actually video cameras.
Tim is a thin, happy boy. He wears glasses, so he looks clever. It’s important to make him look funny but nice.
Fanny is a tall, pleasant girl, with a cheerful face. She has long, straight, black hair. She thinks that robots are fun to talk to, so she smiles a lot when she talks to Han.44-3123The storyboardNow, a rough sketch of the story is made in black and white.
