Fantastic Voyage: Fern Storyboard

The transitions between each stage will rely on the "morph". The animatic will show this process a lot clearer.

Fantastic Voyage Visual Concept

My chosen bio-scientific scenario is the life cycle of a fern and my target audience would be secondary school students.

For this project, the type of style I want to present my final animation is an oriental shadow puppet inspired style. 

Work in particular that have inspired me are; part of the opening sequence for the Japanese role-playing game Drakengard 3 and the "Tale of the Three Brothers" sequence from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 . The black on a plain, paper-textured background is very appealing to me, and if done well the whole thing looks incredibly mesmerising as the objects morph.
