Stage Setting 'Scene 1'

Quick Sketch of 'Scene 1'

Story Boarding My Idea

So I've began to Story Board, 'The Scissors' (title a working progress) It starts of with the Scissors walking into Scene 1 and noticing an Image of another pair of scissors lying on the work desk, Scissors then becomes friendly an attached the Image but then 'The Hand' comes into play and tries to grab Scissors however Scissors narrowly jumps out the way.

Hand then goes in again but Scissors jumps out of the way once more, however Hand quickly swoops in for a third time and this time successfully grabs Scissors. Transition into Scene 2 where Hand is now trying to cut the Image using Scissors but as Hand tries to cut down on the Image but Scissors resists and becomes all stiff and rigid and even tries to use two hand to clamp it down but is no use

Story Board Page 2

Hand then Gives Scissors a good shake and tries to cut the Image once again but this time when he tries to use Scissors, Scissors becomes all floppy and just unusable so finally Hand gives up and throws Scissors and The Image of the other scissors back onto the desk and Transition back to Scene 1 where Scissors lies on the desk all droopy waiting for Hand to disappear, when Hand finally disappears Scissors gets back up and grabs the image and drags it off Scene 1. End of Animation.
