Test Animations

This is a gif of initial test animations. This process helped me test the animation of the texture; which textures should move, how much movement they should have, ect.

Storyboards

They went through a lot of revisions. This is the last full storyboard I had before moving onto the animatic. Between this storyboard and animatic one more major change was made to the storyline; it shifted from 5 vingettes to 3.

Original Idea

My original concept included character which would turn into the umbrellas. The characters would have rainclouds over their heads that would be blocked when their significant other turned into an umbrella to shield them from the storm. I ultimately wanted to use the umbrellas to show all kinds of love, ranging from romantic to friendship. I hoped this would make the piece more relatable to everyone because they would be able to fit themselves into any scenario.
