Hans- the tv series opening titles- storyboard excercise.









The shot starts off with an image representing the Emperors New Clothes. I put this right at the start in order to grab attention right from the outset, and then the camera tracks over his shoulder, to the top of the grandstand, where a long stack of mattresses lies. This climbs up into the sky, the camera following it up, and then the mattresses blur and turn into a really long matchbook, and we travel along that kind of like a roadway, panning left and right to see different views of different fairy tales. This roadway morphs into an actual roadway with scenes from fairy tales on it, and we get to a bridge, blocked by a mirror, and we shatter through this mirror and get to the final title: Hans, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen.

This is supposed to be dreamlike, also inspired by his travelogues that he used to write, the whole thing is supposed to evoke a blurring of fantasy and reality.
