Storyboard

Based on the concept, we analyzed and showcased the three ACTs in the story, placing them in different scenes.

ACT 01
Aurora is tending to her garden, a plum tree, while a meteor shower pursues unbeknownst to A stray meteor hits the moon, causing a moon bunny to fall towards the Earth and crash near Garden.Aurora investigates the crash site and finds Bunny weak and glowing faintly. She takes Bunny into her home and feeds him some of the plums from her garden and his glow starts to increase.


ACT 02 : Discomfort/ Journey
· Bunny feeling heathier, gets up and goes outside and stares longingly at the moon.
Aurora follows him and watches. Bunny points to the Moon and pitifully looks at Aurora, asking for her help.
· Aurora kneels and pets Bunny to comfort him. Upon contact, Bunny's glow spreads to Aurora. Bunny hops up and down pointing at the moon. Aurora picks up bunny and they glow together.
· Aurora looks at the moon and then to her feet and takes a small jump. What was supposed to be a small jump sends them above the trees, but not high enough to reach the moon.
Remembering that the garden's plums increased Bunny's glow, Aurora runs over to garden to get more, but when she reaches her garden, it is withering in her absence. She looks at Bunny, longing to go home, and takes the largest plum from her garden.
· Aurora feeds the plum to Bunny and his glow becomes incredibly bright. Aurora picks up bunny takes a deep breath and leaps. They shoot through the sky passing clouds. She is amazed as they break through the atmosphere and glide past the stars. They land softly on the moon and Aurora lets Bunny down. She is happy she was able to help her friend


ACT 03 : Change Decision
· Bunny runs forward and Aurora follows. Aurora looks around the moon, it is barren, empty, and void of life. Bunny happily jumps up and embraces Aurora.
· Bunny grabs Aurora's hand as to take her further, but Aurora stands still. Looking back and forth from Earth and Bunny, Aurora tells Bunny she should go back home. Bunny is shocked and pulls her hand.
· Aurora breaks away from Bunny with eyes filled with tears and apologizes and says she must eally go home. Bunny looks incredibly sad; Aurora kneels to Bunny's level pats his head. Bunny accepts Aurora's decision, and gives her a kiss with his nose, causing Aurora to glow once again.
· Aurora leaps back to Earth filled with emotion, second guessing. She lands back in her garden.
· Years later, Aurora and her garden are bigger. Aurora seems calm, peaceful. She looks at the moon and sees a mark that resembles a bunny and smiles remembering a past friendship.
