We ended up rethinking our initial strategy and ended up getting rid of many of the storyboard panels. While the ideas were okay in thought, when they were executed, they were underwhelming and unfit. In order to draw up a new storyboard, we starting getting a series of different types of clips in hoping we would find a good one. We needed the title sequence to play on a black scene.
