One last anecdote: this storyboard is not related with Toei animation test, though Toei picked some elements in it. I made it way earlier, based on a script I wrote for an hypothetical movie. No kwamis yet, no transformations. I wanted something very silver-age-comics-like. But in the end, I don’t regret at all what it has become. We digested all these influences, and finally found our own unique tone. You’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far 😉

Fancy some good ol’ storyboard on paper? Here are some researches I made for a trailer. Based on early concept. No kwami yet. But I think you’ll easily recognize the baddie here. (Page 1 of 11) #miraculousladybug #miraculous #ladybug #catnoir #storyboard

As you can see, Alya was already there. But she knew Marinette’s secret. -So, what’s your power, girl? Flight? Superstrengh? You shoot laserbeams with the eyes? -Errr… Luck? -Prrrfff Muahahahahahah! #miraculousladybug #miraculous #ladybug #catnoir #storyboard

No lucky charm either yet. Only pure luck. But it only works when you use it for others. Otherwise it backfires. (Page 5 of 11) #miraculousladybug #miraculous #ladybug #catnoir #storyboard
Pure luck. So a big potential for good ol’ fashion comedy, Ã la Chaplin or Buster Keaton. But broadcasters weren’t convinced. Too abstract for kids apparently. So I had to find something else. It became the lucky charm you all know. #miraculousladybug #miraculous #ladybug #catnoir #storyboard
As you may guess, all these thumbnails are extremely small. A panel is approximately 4x6cm only. That’s why the sketches must remain very simple. It’s a good exercise for aspiring story artists. #miraculousladybug #miraculous #ladybug #catnoir #storyboard
