afterburn || oc storyboard

starts loud warning
Hot-headed firefighting grandma faces retirement.
Exercise for Intro to Storyboard Course (storyboardart.org/). It's free and has some good material and community support :)
prompt was "Grandma gets fired", and of course everything had to do with fire after that
have some other class exercises in the works, then thinking of doing some musical animatics again, or maybe something to a "normal" song...
conflicted about adding music, but heard it helped with pacing so there it is

Oh, poor Grandma. I'm glad she found some peace with it in the end, but her frustration is not only palpable but all too relatable. Wonderful short! 10/10

This feels like a really good pixar short. I laughed out loud when the chart lined up with her furrowed brow, that was perfect imagery Edit: pronouns
