Ident Storyboard

Since most popular video games as old/retro games, I've decided to name the channel for my ident "Retro". The characters for the ident are based off their original game sources: "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Pac Man", "Bubble Bobble" and "Pokémon".

In the original sequence, Sonic starts off by running on the screen, and finally curls into his Spin dash movement. While spinning, Sonic changes colour, from blue to white, into a power pellet. Pac Man later enters, and goes sides to side of the stage, eating the pellet on 3^rd entry and exit.

The scene cuts to a cherry, which Pac Man approaches towards, until a bubble comes and traps Pac Man inside. While he floats away, we see Bub (or Bob) who blew the bubble, and steals the cherry on screen. Suddenly, a Pikachu jumps in; Bub looks upwards and takes a step backwards to avoid getting caught from landing. The Pikachu does a thunderbolt attack on Bub, causing Bub to die and disappear. Finally, a Pokéball is thrown and captures Pikachu inside. The Pokéball forms the letter O for the Retro logo, while the other letters appear as LED lights.

 

After showing the storyboard in my presentation, it was suggested to skip Sonic at the beginning and go straight to Pac Man first.  However, I thought   this made a huge improved for the animation later in production.
