Biggering Storyboard (Old Practice - read description)

Hello everyone! Thank you all for watching. This storyboard and everyone who watched it made an amazing impact on my life, as it was the first step into my career journey. Within the past year, I’ve been deciding whether or not to recreate it. Unfortunately with all the work stacking up and having a change of interest, I am going to set this storyboard aside and not continue it in the future. As well as leaving this Channel behind.

It has been a wonderful experience and a very surreal moment for me to see so many people enjoying this video. Thank you again!

Goodbye! / Adiyós! / ¡Adios!

I love how the final Truffula seed got stuck in his machine by mistake and him removing it to fix the error is how he obtained the environment‘s last hope. That was a legitimately powerful moment.

The Onceler gets darker and darker, with only his gloves being visible at times is a very nice callback to the original where only the Onceler's hands were shown.

This wasn't cut because it was "too relentlessly dark" for kids to handle. It was cut because the company funding the production team didn't want to portray corporate business in a negative light.

I still can't believe they made a pink Floyd song for this film

I absolutely love the comment made on the original story board
"Biggering is what really happened
How bad can I be is what they portray in the court"

I fucking love how as time goes on, Onceler's face and body slowly becomes more obscured in darkness until only his green gloves are left visible. The pure-hearted man with dreams of grandeur is gone, replaced with the faceless embodiment of corporate greed that he was in the classic film. Such an incredible detail.

4:03 this would've hit like a truck in the movie. The flashes between a past conflicted Oncler and an empty one telling the story, and the disappointed Lorax mixing with a terrified child listening to what happened. It would've stuck out and that's what illumination was afraid of.

The story of the Onceler has the potential to be one of the most tragic yet captivating tales in modern animation. I hope it’s given the chance one day.

One thing I appreciate in this animatic is how the Lorax shows the Onceler what he's doing to the environment during the Greed bit before all the trees are gone. Really emphasizes how he knows deep down that what he's doing is wrong but continues doing it for the sake of his pride.

I love how the Onceler is shown smoking cigars. He’s becoming addicted to them as he becomes addicted to biggering.

They can’t even say this is “too dark for kids”, I showed this to my 8 year old brother and then watched the Lorax with him, and he was actually upset when Biggering didn’t show up

One thing I noticed is that one newspaper says Trends 1964 while another later one says 1972: What awaits. Implying that The Once-Ler spends years tearing apart the environment for profit

I love the insanity that slowly appears on his face as he becomes more and more corrupt

The new Amazon's biopic looks lit.

4:06 ted realises how big of a monster the man was he is talking to

love the fact that you included some of the imagery from the movie, especially near the end with the giant onceler looming over the forest creatures. that’s a powerful image on its own, and it works ten times better with the climax of biggering instead of the climax of how bad can i be.

I love how as the song goes on, the Once-ler’s face get shown less and less until his face is completely obscured. It’s a perfect representation of how he’s becoming corrupted and how he eventually becomes a completely empty shell of his former self.

this scene wouldve literally changed my life if I saw it in theaters as a kid

I only skimmed the comments, so I don't know if anyone else has pointed out that it appears the onceler is wearing a wedding ring as he's putting on the gloves. Could be reading too far into it, but since he's alone in the story, I'm guessing its meant to show that he chose his company over love.
