Storyboard ideas for animation excersice of extremes of movement

 My two different  storyboards ideas consist of ;
1: A larger man giving balloons to a smaller man, who is over powered by the balloons, and  have to fight back with them.
2: A man who tries to capture the moon with a fishing rod, once he reels the moon in its too big and bounces everywhere, squishing him in the process.

Idea 1:

frame one:

Heavy weighted man can easily handle and out power the balloons. His movements are slow but powerful- the balloons being dragged along, made to look light weight.
In this frame, he drags the balloons with ease in his one hand.



frame two:

Once again with ease, and strong movement, he moves the balloons and hands it over. (balloons are flung around, move like crazy with short amount of frames to show speed).








                                        frame three:

Hands over to the balloons to the skinner gent, who is much lighter weight.











                                        Frame four:
The balloons are far to heavy for him to handle, they pull his arm forward, back and spins him around. The balloons then make him lunge forwards.












                                         Frame five:
                               
The man tries with all his might to pull the balloons and fight back,      
 bending his spine backwards, arching his back. Stuck in this  shape
 the balloon begins to drag him with his feet on the up trying to stop it.










                                          Idea 2:
Frame one:

A bubble like man, tries to steal the moon, using a fishing rod. He anticipates before he swings his fishing rod.
                                        








 Frame two:
 The rod swings with speed and quickness.










Frame three:
His rod lassoes on to the moon, he struggles to pull it. It takes a lot
of  movement and poses of him trying to drag it down.








Frame four:
 As he slowly drags down the moon, the moon begins to enlarge. Quickly engaging with gravity, the moon comes to earth with speed, squishing the man.









                                           Frame 5:
 Acting like a ball, the moon bounces around showing  properties of 'squash
                                          and stretch'.











    I think Idea one would take up more frames, having more actions taking place and having two characters may make it too complex for a dynamic exercise. If I were to do idea one, it would should show weight/effort and speed/acceleration.
The second idea I believe would give me more opportunities to show extremes of movement, for example: -weight and effort, of the man dragging the moon down. Speed/ acceleration, when the rod flies into the sky, and when the moon comes crashing down. Squash and stretch, when the moon bounces around like a ball, and finally impact/ reaction when the man is squished. The moon will be a more simplified design, with only one character. Do only two main actions; fishing for the moon, and the moons impact with earth, it will take up less frames (being limited to only 50-70) its essential I use less frames as possible. Additionally, the moon ideas gives me a chance to really exaggerate movements and practice with anticipation.
