Example: Storyboard


00-10: All of the stars twinkle on and off in different rhythms.


11-15: The planet grows larger; three UFOs enter from the top and sides of the frame, one at a time, and change position in front of the planet.


16-20: The three UFOs beam down to planet; then other beams from outside the frame beam down to the planet.


21-30: UFO beams turn into sunburst; sunburst rays flash different colors using blending modes, then the whole sunburst spins using blending modes on an all-yellow version of the sunburst. The sunburst flashes to white several times before becoming a white screen at 30 seconds.


31-40: Yellow clouds move into the frame from off-screen, one at a time (there are five different cloud shapes); then more clouds all converge, covering the frame completely at 40 seconds.


41-50: Yellow clouds clear moving off the screen in reverse, revealing house on the surface of the planet with original twinkling stars in the background. The house lights turn on at 47 seconds.

50-55: Two identical houses fall from the sky (continue original twinkle stars) on either side of the first; they bounce once on the ground and their lights turn on as two more slightly larger houses fall in front of them (lights turn on), and one even larger house falls in the immediate foreground (lights turn on). All houses slide down together to disappear from the screen.

56-60: Three small houses and three larger houses grow out of the darkness and twinkle (change opacity of duplicate house layer with outer glow effect). Background stars continue to twinkle.
