Daniel Abraham: More concept storyboards

This is another storyboard i've come up with. It is based on the new Batman films, so it is more of a parody. However it is set in a city which is plagued with sweatshops which is based on the real world problem of sweatshops, a hero called DECE-Man is trying to rid the "city" of this plague infesting the city streets. I decided for this viral i could have a very bare bones script behind it that will make it a little more engaging for the audience. The hostile character in this viral is Evil Surgeon Underpay, who has an underground workshop where children are making hats for him for free, a parody of sorts on actual sweatshops. I first wanted to make the baddies Nazis or communist, but i thought someone might end up getting too offended so i made a decision to change from a Nazi General to just an evil character who happens to have a german accent and big red banners on the wall, giving the subliminal message he's evil.


One thing i've put in the script and not in the storyboard is the very last scene. I want to put across the idea that DECE-Man can be anyone by having a speech at the end of revealing DECE-Mans true identity, and that he's just a DECE hat who lives in a draw. Also one thing I want to do differently to the last viral i've done, is that i want to make it look more like an epic comic with detailed sounds in the background, basically more stylised.

    • First Scene
      The city needs cleaning out, it needs a hero, but right now the city is unravelling like a cheaply produced wool hat.


      Second Scene


      Nobody seems to know or care about the citys dark secret, and even if they did who says anybody would do anything. That’s where I come in, I will clear out this cancer, I am DECE-man.

      (Lightning)

      Third Scene

      Evil Surgeon Underpay: Come come children, I need zat shipment of hats yesterday. Billy vas ist wrong vit you now?

      Fade to black

      DECE-Man: This is just one sweatshop I’ve managed to liberate through the power of negotiation, but many more need are still making stuff. That’s why we need more hero’s like me.
