An old storyboard from an animation project. The story of swordferret has since changed, but it still has some cool material.

TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Interior. Sailcart-Day

Izzy is sleeping soundly in a cloth hammock. He is awkwardly twisted but seems totally comfortable.

Page 2: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Vi (from outside)- Izzy! wake up Izzy!

Izzy stirs slightly but is still asleep.

Page 3: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Vi- Theres another one of those monster things,it’s chasing someone around the square!

Izzy perks his ears up, and slumps out of the hammock.

Page 4: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- I'm Up!

Page 5: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- I'm Up!Izzy puts on his sword harness and walks over to a rack with a bunch of swords hanging on it. He seems con�icted as to which sword to use against the monster.

Page 6: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Vi- It’s crazy big!

Izzy smirks then grabs a huge longsword from the rack.

Page 7: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy pops up onto the outer deck of the Sailcart.

Page 8: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The Sailcart is parked on the side of a road in a large city. This city looks luxurious from afar, but is actually mostly shanty and slum style houses, just stacked on top of one another.

Page 9: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Dale- you ready Izzy?

Page 10: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- are you?

Page 11: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Dale-(to the band) alright lets give Izzy a song to kill that beast! Thunderfoot in 1,2,3,4!

Page 12: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Music begins to play as Izzy dashes o� towards the monster.

Page 13: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The monster busts out of an alleyway roaring and chasing Grum It is breaking through walls and absolutely trashing everything in its path.

Page 14: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard
Page 15: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

While chasing Grum the monster busts up a sandwich cart, sending sandwiches �ying everywhere.

Page 16: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Intense �ying sandwich

Page 17: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Intense �ying sandwich

As Izzy is running towards the beast a sandwich hits Izzy in the mouthHe has it in his mouth,chewing on it as he leaps into the air to attack the beast.

Page 18: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- Lunchtime!

The beast gets distracted by Izzy and takes a sword blow to one of its large twisted horns. Izzy lands after his attack and �nishes his sandwich in one bite.

Page 19: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The monster brie�y mourns the loss of a horn.

Page 20: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Grum- (breathless) thanks

Izzy- no problem.

Page 21: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Grum- cool sword

Izzy turn his head, he never gets to talk about his swords, so this is a big deal

Page 22: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- oh man thanks, ya know it’s like this super high grade steel, and see this handle, full tang, �ve bolts and perfect -

Page 23: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy is interrupted by a �erce head-butt from the beast which sends him �ying into the road.

Page 24: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Monster- nasty snarling roar

Page 25: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy gives the monster a growl of his own, it is not at all intimidating, mostly cute,maybe a little deranged.

Page 26: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy then beings doing his weasel war dance, hopping and twisting on all four legs, clicking and squeaking.

(If you’ve ever seen this, it is a real thing ferrets do and is completely ridiculous and hilarious).

Page 27: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- Lunchtime!

The beast gets distracted by Izzy and takes a sword blow to one of its large twisted horns. Izzy lands after his attack and �nishes his sandwich in one bite.

War dancing intensi�es

Page 28: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The beast begins to sway, stumbling from the hypnotizing e�ects of the war dance.

Page 29: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy takes this chance to get �nishing blow on the beast.

Page 30: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy takes this chance to get �nishing blow on the beast.

Izzy- (relieved) woooh.

The beast vanishes into a vapor leaving no trace of its existence.

Page 31: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Grum- that was awesome

Izzy- don’t mention it..Swords are kinda my thing ya know, I just swing em at stu�

Page 32: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Grum- well you did..good,my names Grum .

Izzy- Izzy, of that cart over there, formerly of Orrv

Page 33: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Grum- Orrv?

Izzy- it’s a ..tiny village in the forest, no one's ever heard of it

Grum- thats true I haventIzzy- yeah, it’s thier biggest attraction

Page 34: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Their conversation is interrupted by a horn blowing like a siren through the city.

Page 35: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

A passerby tugs on Izzy

Page 36: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

A passerby tugs on Izzy

Passerby- you must leave the city at once, they are coming, they will hurt you for this

Izzy- we’re not leaving we just got here

Passerby- go now before its too late

Page 37: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

As they �nish speaking several large �gures drop down behind them. They land, fabulously, matching ponchos �owing in the wind

Passerby- what did just say!

Page 38: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Pack Leader(to the passerby)- step aside citizen

The passerby slinks away making hand gestures to Izzy, ones he completely does not understand.

Page 39: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Pack Leader- ferret! are you the one responsible for this damage?!

Page 40: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- yeah..sorta

Page 41: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Grum- well you did..good,my names Grum .

Izzy- Izzy, of that cart over there, formerly of Orrv

Izzy- yeah..sortaIzzy- I fought a..thing

Izzy points to where the monster was, but it has vanished.

Page 42: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Pack Leader- a thing?

Page 43: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- yes, it-

Izzy tries to pantomime how the monster evaporated because he is not good with words. He is also not good at pantomiming, so his explanation fails terribly.

Page 44: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Pack Leader- thats enough! You're coming with us, for..questioning

Page 45: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy reaches into his harness, pulling out a small stone with a symbol carved on it. The stone �ashes a green light with a crackling noise.

Izzy- didn't your mother ever tell you it’s rude to point at people

Page 46: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Crackling intensi�es

Page 47: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The light settles, and Izzy is now holding an even larger sword(the jetsword), pointing right at the pack leaders face.

Page 48: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Pack Leader- are you crazy?!

Page 49: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Grum- Is he crazy? Dale- maybe

Haina- he’s something

Grum- I’ve seen those guards shake down a water tower just to catch a beehive, ya know, overkill status.

Dale- yeah but Izzy’s got two swords, he should be alright

Page 52: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The pack leader lands a solid punch in the middle of Izzy’s face

Page 53: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy quickly regains his footing

Izzy- ferrets are not rodents you loser!

Page 54: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

//Split screen to show an o�ended looking mouse looking up at Izzy

Izzy- not that there’s anything wrong with rodents

Page 55: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

A closeup shot of the jetsword revving up its engine, with jet sounds

Page 56: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy leaps into the air to strike back at the Pack leader

Page 57: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The entire band start playing an awesome rock song, raising Izzy’s �ghting spirit and spreading inspiration throughout the city!

Page 60: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Grum his struck by a barrel thrown at his head by Vi

Vi-bang on this you bum!

Page 61: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy using the jetsword to perform awesome aerial sword moves!

Page 62: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy is making his own sound e�ects for the swords. Because as a child Izzy always thought swords made loud swooshing noises when they were swung. To stave o� his disappointment, he makes the sounds himself.

Izzy- fwaaaash!

Page 63: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy- shkiiiiing! ( a block).

In the background two guards hold hands to attack with mystic twin powers

Page 64: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

A crowd has gathered below, cheering to the music and cheering for Izzy. They cheer swordferret because they do not know his name.

Page 65: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

As the �ght intensi�es, the guards begin to gain an advantage.

In the background the other guards are using some strange �ghting maneuvers.

Page 66: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Before the Pack Leader strikes the �nal blow, a deep and menacing voice makes an announcement that everyone can hear. The band even stops playing.

Page 67: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Booming voice- stand down!

Page 68: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The Pack Leader raises his head in confusion, and sheaths his sword.

Booming voice- report back to the tower!

Page 69: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy is confused and relieved at the same time.

Page 70: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

As the guards turn to leave, the Pack Leader turns to address Izzy and the band.

One of the other guards fumbles around with his sword.

Page 71: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Pack Leader- you may keep your life today swordferret, but know this. You and your vagabonds will never be welcome here in this city.

Page 72: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The same mouse that Izzy may have o�ended earlier steps into the road.

Page 73: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Mouse- do not listen to them swordferret, you are welcome here, anyone who stands up to those mugs is welcome here.

Page 74: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy is feeling loved

Page 75: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Izzy is feeling loved

The band comes in closer to Izzy.

Dale- what did he call us Izzy?

Izzy- Vagabonds

Page 76: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Dale seems stunned, a single tear rolls down his cheek. The tear pulls out a tiny guitar and plays some sweet shredding chord.

Page 77: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

Dale- oh my gosh, thats our new band name

Vi,Haina, and Dale- YEEAAAH!

Dale is way more excited about this than the other two members.

Page 78: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The hooded passerby is sneaking away from the group.

Page 79: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

The hooded passerby is sneaking away from the group.The passerby removes his hood. He is some kind of horned creature, unlike the animal citizens of the city.

Page 80: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

While everyone is celebrating, Izzy goes to retrieve his swords.

Page 81: SwordFerret Rough Storyboard

When Izzy tries to pull it out of the ground it shatters and cracks in half, leaving Izzy with a stunned and heartbroken look on his face.
