Project 4 Storyboard

For my project I was thinking of trying to animate the poem "O' Me O' Life" by Walt Whitman.

Here is the poem:

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer. That you are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

The main thing I wanted to do was have time-lapse videos of various scenes that go along with the content of the poem. Along with this time-lapse footage I wanted to animate text over the top of it, and possibly narrate it myself or have someone else do it.

My illustrating skills are pretty poor but I tried to show what it might resemble. The last screen will be all black with white text and I imagined it being pretty dramatic. I'm aiming for a 45 second run-time.
