BlueRipple : Animation : Byrd-S03-EP312 Storyboard Revisions

Sometimes boards come in, and they aren't clear enough. We work with a variety of board artists, and revisions are normal. Here are some examples of storyboard panel revisions, before and after.

Before Revision

Is he supposed to be a ghost??

Sad kid, Derrick. No emotion.
He should share his feelings, not hide them; and what does that finger mean?
However, I kept the lower arm pose, to protect his feelings a little.

After Revision
