Narrative in Sound & Motion: Final Storyboard

This is the final sequence of events - type coupled with image. I think everything looks good although I'm starting to wonder about the transition of events around frames 8 thru 10 now that I see it in color...

Here's a final, final version. I added the letters into frame 8. I think that will help the transition:
1. First we see the earth (letters) harden,
2. Cut to the image of the sky and earth (the bright sunlight really helps give the feeling of cold and hard)
3. Cut back to the letters cracking
4. Fade to the image of the hand poking a hole in the earth
5. Cut to the image of the hand planting the seed amongst the broken up soil (letters)
6. Animate the letters softening
7. Rest of the movie...
