I’ve been in a rut lately and struggling with my story arc for my BFA gone through countless iterations after some advice from my amazing boyfriend. I got out of my head and focused on small scenarios focusing on Colby as a character. which turned into this small set of rough boards which are in color just because i felt like coloring… hopefully they’re readable, storyboarding usually isn’t my strong suit.
