#Storyboards from a cut scene from #Nimona of Ballister and Ambrosius meeting for the first time (2/2) In this part of the scene, Ballister slowly softens to this stranger’s kindness. He’s astonished to find that Ambrosius comes from noble blood and is destined to become a knight, a calling inaccessible to a commoner like him. Ambrosius doesn’t share the same excitement over his fortune but lights up at the idea of this new friend joining him at knight school. He invites Ballister to come to the Institute with him and their paths become forever intertwined on that day.🖤💛 When I first boarded this scene, there weren’t any designs for the kid versions of the characters, which explains why they look so different to the final film. I vaguely based my designs off ND Stevenson’s adorable original drawings of young Ballister and Goldenloin. This was also before G was redesigned, which explains the long blonde hair. Working without designs can often be the case in storyboarding, especially when characters are first introduced in the script. The design for the stadium rafters hadn’t also been explored yet either. It was cool to get to work on it though since I also got to board the moment in the rafters when they’re grown up - it was implied this was a little hangout spot for them. Though I think it was cool to see Ballister’s whole journey, I really appreciate how much more succinct the first act of the movie was in the final version. This scene holds a special place in my heart because it was my very first assignment after we had been sent to work from home in 2020. Something about pitching through Zoom had me extremely nervous, I was definitely feeling the vacancy of my bedroom and the lack of direct feedback that comes from being in a story room full of people. Nick and Troy really helped me get comfortable with pitching remotely 💙 #ballister #ballisterblackheart #goldenloin #goldenheart #storyboard #storyartist #storyboarding #blueskystudios #annapurna
