After the screenplay for the film was written I drew out the story very quickly on post-it notes. Upon seeing the film visually it was clear which parts of the story weren't working properly.
Thumbnails serve as a very rough way to visualise the film. They aren't as polished as final storyboards but the important idea is that they communicate what is happening in the story.
After discussing these initial thumbnails with other coursemates and lecturers we made several changes to the story. Act 1 was shortened considerably so that we could make the downhill scenes as interesting as possible without making the film too long. It also helped pacing of the film too. After these changes a live-action version of the animation was filmed and edited together.
