The timing cues for the storyboard went out the window!! This is because the actual narrative of the poem had to be drastically cut to be under 5 minutes. Therefore, much of the second half of the poem had to be reduced or cut completely; despite this, I kept the most crucial moments in the poem, so the story is still understandable!
The speed of the movements of the manniquins vary greatly. Death, Life-in-Death and the Ancient Mariner are all quite slow (between 0.50 and 0.75 seconds per shot) but for different reasons. Death and LID are slow simply because they are the most powerful forces in the poem - they are in no rush to inflict their torment on the mariner! The ancient mariner on the other hand, is slow simply because he is elderly. He is meant to be weak and ravaged from his curse!
The young mariner and the wedding guest on the other hand are much faster; the mariner because he is young and energetic; the wedding guest because he is nervous and jittery!
