Storyboard:

reference:

first version

The feedback says when the character first time going back, his hands waving around is not working.
There also no facial expressions so we can't tell what the character is thinking.

In the second version, The character is too stiff.
I didn't know the method of making the foot to bend so it has the problem of flat foot.
When the character come into the scene, feeling the lovely day, he should have put down both of his hands. With one hand on the chest for such long time makes the audiences confused.
when he bend his body walking against the wind, he should bend lower.
There also has problem at last for the character goes out of the scene spinning too slow. If the wind is so strong that can blow him away he should move more fast and random,

I found some videos of how do people walk in strong wind.

Here is the third version.
I adjust the feet and changed the last pose and so on.
According to the feed back it's getting better.
But when the first time the wind comes, the hand raised too high.
And the camera is not good because there are so many empty spaces in the scene.
I was suggested to try cut the scenes from different angles.


I adjust all the problems mentioned above and get the last version.
