"The Helper" Storyboards

Storyboard explorations for our 2D and 3D hybrid animation project "The Helper", about a girl who falls asleep while working on her math homework, prompting her doodle, Mimi the owl, to swoop in to help her.

First 2 storyboards are about Mimi (then called Koko) gaining sentience and waking up, then seeing Chloe's blank homework and shaking her head with disappointment, and then flying down to the table and flying through worksheets and a book to get to Chloe's homework.

Next few storyboards are for figuring out how Mimi can fill up the homework and interact with numbers in a simple and creative way.

The main objective was to keep the sequences short and concise while also being entertaining and clear.
