Wingman || Storyboard

Silly sequence about crows in a trench coat act as a wingman to a hermit shut in.
Inspired by:
- The need to make "wingman" literal
- A story about a cat and a crow being best pals for life
- Using up Storyboard Pro's free trial
- Obsession with fried chicken
Unsolicited review of Storyboard Pro:
It's great!
Actual storyboarding software does make a difference, even the compartmentalization of panels instead of having an open timeline influenced the way I went about creating this. Turns out this software is very intuitive and easy to pick up with tons of features. The 3d feature is very easy to use, especially coming from Blender.
Sounds:
Door slam: freesound.org/s/361167/
Light TV static: freesound.org/s/154674/
Romantic music: Floating Home - Brian Bolger (youtube audio library)
Stomach growl: freesound.org/people/oldrasca...
Crow crowd: freesoundhub.com/en/show/8592
Dialogue / filler sounds: my organs
Time: Dunno, started it 2 weeks ago, but had other priorities for the most part. This idea has been floating around since Summer of 2022 though.
Tried my darndest to make layout / poses clear, and pacing not too fast (that is my tendency), and also distinguish cuts from camera moves
Will caption it.... later
hope y'all g'day

The way the guy doesn’t really question the eldritch horror that is a murder of crows in a trench coat is sending me

Okay, this was both adorable and hilarious. I thought that it was my stomach making noises at first, but I was wrong.

So charming! Crows are fed and a human made a friend! I like the idea of two people finding a friend through silly movie and crows lending their pal a hand. Cats and crows gotta stick together!
