Okay this is going to be my largest project yet. I plan on making a music video of "99 Red Ballons" by Goldfinger. Here is my story board of the basic layout of the video

nice idea you have, I don't want to sound patronizing but I think your storyboard would need a little more work e.g. think about how you place the camera and how you frame your shots. It all seems a little unclear to me. And I'd suggest to make a simple animatic first. Just cut out the stuff from your storyboard and start to try out how movement and transitions between shots work. Especially you can work out timing. A well done animatic can safe you so much work in the end. -Just some thoughts.

good luck

lol it is a very rough story board I made in 2 mins just to get some ideas out. I'll look into making a animatic, but right now I think I'll model everything first.

Here's one of the army dudes that will be used as a crowd.
I still need to make boots for him though as the current ones just won't do.
