Planning the shapes to the timing of the music...

This is only a rough plan at the moment. I hope to make it more detailed and understandable when I start visually creating my Storyboard and Animatic. I have labelled the seconds and minutes on the pages, so I know exactly when the shapes move. Here is a link to the music, click here.

Planning the Movement for my Abstract Shapes

I am hoping that the abstract shapes below will travel along the walls of the cave as the Mountain King journeys along.  They will rise and fall, increase and decrease, expand and condense in time with the music.  Their movement will be synchronised and provide interest, shape and symmetry to the story.  I am not sure how this will look and so am going to spend some time practicing!
