'Clyde the Clumsy Cow' by Diana Hey




For her illustration project Diana's Clyde the Cow started off as Cassie the Cow who visited a fancy dress shop and went back to her field with a princess hat. Diana has decided to adapt the story for her animation by making it more slapstick, with more movement and unexpected comedy enhanced by silly noises. Hopefully making it more appealing for her intended pre-school audience. Also Cassie has turned into Clyde, perhaps to appeal to both girls and boys. You can view Diana's animatic here on Flickr along with her original illustrations of Cassie the Cow.

Below are the storyboard instructions;

1. Cylde is sat in his field, boored. Super Mario soundtrack (4 seconds)
2. He jumps over the fence. Super Mario jump sound (3 seconds)
3. BOING! And falls into a bin (1 second)
4. Bin falls over. Tipping metal sound (2 seconds)
5. Boinging, bouncing sound as Clyde tips out of the bin (2 seconds)
6. SPLASH! Clyde bounces into a puddle (2 seconds)
7. BEEP!, a car whizzes on to screen (3 seconds)
8. CRASH! The car and Clyde collide (3 seconds)
9. Clyde gets up (3 seconds)
10. The shock makes him poo (2 seconds)
