In this short storyboard scene, a man confronts the end of his competitive gaming career as he struggles to finish a marathon. Can his boyfriend cheer him up, or will this personal crisis bubble into a relationship crisis?
With this storyboard, I wanted to practice a scene where two unrelated images become a part of a single story; in this case, a praying mantis and a man running a marathon. Inspired by slice-of-life anime shows, my goal was a scene that was slow-paced and grounded but still compelling.
