Armchair Historian: German Plans Storyboards
Storyboards I did for the Armchair Historian Youtube channel. I've included links to the final video and screenshots of the amazing final art done by the Art and Animation teams.
Final Armchair History video.
Maps!
The map art team again, does a superb job of bringing history to life.
Lots of panning around as the Russians retake territory.
Stuff got flipped around and the horizon got lowered since it's better for the art and animation teams.
Tanks to the river
Tanks to the river
Whip it!
To a ruined Berlin
A better shot of Berlin. Again, learning what assets the art team might already have, or what might be easier for them to create.
Armchair History already had some existing footage for this scene from a previous video.
Hitler, Eva and Blondi hanging out in his man cave.
This got flipped because it's easier for the animators to take Hitler off screen on the right to flip the figure without having to animate him turning around.
Hitler's final days.
Hitler's final days.
The end for Hitler and Eva
Pick your poison
And Adolf choses his.
The art teams did a great job lighting and animating this.
Again, the final art is flipped and I think it just reads better that way
Cracks begin to show.
and it all falls apart.
Fade to white
Hitler's plans and Germany, begin to fall apart.
Shattered dreams.
I boarded the fade to white to pull back and reveal a flag of surrender in front of the ruined Berlin. But for budget/timing reasons this was cut. Oh well.
