The Island

So I've been working a lot on story stuff so far this summer. Overall I'm trying to sharpen all of my skills in whatever way I can, while remembering to just have fun, because...it's summer.
I picked up a project I started a long long time ago and abandoned. I'd almost completely forgotten about it but I took another stab at it. I just went in with a completely fresh perspective and had a lot of fun.
I storyboarded the first scene of this story, and made a little animatic. Please excuse the silly iMovie sound effects. I miss you Sound Miner!!! I miss you After Effects!!!!! We only just got to know each other!!!!
Ahem.
Enjoy, and I'd love to hear what you think.

Ha ha, thanks so much.
I'm sorry there isn't a cuter more cuddly softer fluffier animal in here, but you never know, maybe the island is populated my giant radioactive guinea pigs!!!
We'll see.
