Storyboard
This story is an adventure about a wooden doll who is the main character, set in a forest and a cave.
At the beginning of the story, the main character is walking through the forest. The forest is quiet and surrounded by a dark, sadness atmosphere. The character feels lonely, uneasy, and slightly afraid. This environment amplifies his negative emotions.
Then, he notices a strange torii gate. The gate stands in an unusual position in front of the cave, and it catches the character’s attention. Beyond the gate, the cave highlight with a mysterious blue light, and it creates a magical and otherworldly atmosphere. Although he feels fear, the character tries to enter the cave and go steps forward with brave.
Eventually, the character reaches the deepest part of the cave. Inside, a large and huge tree stands at the center, and its overwhelming presence takes his breath away. At the base of the tree stands a Japanese shrine, the same one he saw outside the cave. Overwhelmed by the beauty of the tree and the cave, the character naturally walks toward the shrine.
In this story, the character’s main movements are walking or standing still, but the beautiful and grand backgrounds give the story a sense of depth and space.
If I possible I would like to add this element into my animation by using UE5. This red thread comes from the Japanese conventional narrative story which is red thread led us to connect with the good future, fate, and people.
