Week 3 Photo Challenge: Storyboard for a commercial

Debra is standing outside the Cashier overlooking the playing tables at South Point.  She’s not much of a gambler and couldn’t decide which game to play.  She closes her eyes and clears her thoughts, she opens her eyes.  The first table she sees was the Roulette table.  She turns around and heads to the cashier to get some money.  After she empty’s her pocket book, she struts to the playground with her favorite blue dress and her lucky blue shoes, as if she’s the only one in the casino.  She approaches the Roulette table with the up-most confidence.  She slaps her money all on Black and says “Let it Ride!”  The Dealer spins the ball.  Debra is cool as a cat.  The ball spins around and around.  Debra then says to her “What did I do?  I don’t know how to gamble, I never gambled before in my whole life!” She stares at the ball as if her life depends on it. Her heart is thumping faster and faster.  As the ball starts to slow down her life flashes upon her eyes.  The ball suddenly starts bouncing from one slot to the next.  She stops breathing.  Then just like that, it stops.  It lands on black Thirteen.  Debra is overwhelmed with joy.  She throws her arms up and starts to scream.  Jumping up and down, around and around.  She is so happy.  She grabs her winnings with delight.  Before leaving the table, she thinks about her two boys who are back at home.  She never thought she would see them ever again.  Then she says to herself “Only in Fabulous Las Vegas!”
I made this storyboard like no other I have ever seen.  The images are all presented extremely clear.  I used Maya and Poser to create this storyboard.  Using this method, gives me the ability to capture the camera angles, effects, and lighting that leaves no guessing work to a potential Executive Producer or Crew Members.
