Daniel Abraham:Some early storyboard ideas for Viral cartoons

The idea here is that a guy goes snowboarding, only he gets cold then lands in a Romanian town and get's given a DECE hat by a nice old lady. He loves the hat so him and the old lady both go snowboarding together. This is a very early concept and isn't really drawn in the style i will end up using because i don't really know what style i would want to use yet.  

Another early idea for a Viral cartoon. This is set in a evil sweatshop of unknown location or company to avoid being sewed, it start with some people nervously making hat while being watch over by a guard. The camera pans out and shows a huge stack of hats while a guy is shoveling them into a giant mine kart. One of the hats falls out of the mine kart, becomes animated then views what the factory is like, gets scared then makes a run for it. He then bangs into a window, outside the window in a nice looking field is a much better company with hats frolicking in the field, laughing and singing. 

At the moment i have a choice of 3 styles i would like to try, the first is the one shown in the storyboards but more polished. The second is a very simplistic look with colored paper for the background making it look grungy and the 3rd i cannot describe so i will just post a video with roughly the style i am imagining:

  The part i am thinking of is a collage type style, i was thinking of drawing on each piece of paper then capturing it in a picture, like stop motion. However this would be very time consuming but it may be worth trying as it may look very effective.
