I'm working on the storyboards.

The music really helped me pace this out. Of course the down side is if I can't use this particular music ... but the truth is, the story would be pretty much the same and so would the timing.Whatever music I end up using should have similar elements -- a simple start, the insturments double up and build, there's a crescendo and it all needs to be fun and bouncy. I think the story needs this amount of time to unfold.

A happy discovery -- nearly all my sketches for the storyboard focus on Dee. She just naturally came to the fore front. It's just nice because up until this point Rosa was always the main focus.

I admit I'm kind of glossing over the dance sequences ... "they dance", I'm not exactly sure what this would look like, if it will repeat/cycle or do something else. I'm reminded of something said about Jim Carey or Robin Williams, they'll just put in the notes "does something funny". I suppose this will be like this. I'll try to get more specific in my story boards.

I added the concept of a chase scene of sorts, because they can't really fight. It occured to me they can physically do the things used in current martial arts film since they can fly.

Animation wise, I don't think it will be overly complicated, running sequence, adding a bend deformer to branches.

I'd like to include some water effects if possible. Maybe Dee will be splashing a little in the opening sequence, washing up. Also a splash if they run through the birdbath in the chase sequence.
