Facts about past, present and future

Next step was to found out the facts about recycling in past, present and future forms.

I have been looking books and searching internet database. Got a few facts which fit well in the context i want to convey my message.
Some of these facts are:

PAST:
 65 million years ago dinosaurs became extinct, forests got lost, underwater and sea creatures died and sank at the bottom. Their decaying remains were recycled into oil, coal and gas.

There is also evidence that early Romans recycled bronze coins into statues that could be sold at a higher monetary than the original coins. In hard times (e.g. Wartime), metals from everything like jewellery and coins were being melted for weapons or other necessary goods.                                                                       Source: http://www.all-recycling-facts.com/history-of-recycling.html

PRESENT:

New technologies have been developed to cope with newer materials, such as glass and plastic. More and more waste material is being recycled which helps to save energy and natural resources to certain extend.

1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours.*

1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes.*

1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 30-watt light bulb for 6 hour.*

Each tonne of paper recycled saves enough electricity to power an average 3 bedroom house for one year.*

PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

I had a concept in my mind wherein I would show how recycling was in past, in what forms was it seen. How did it transform and how is it being used to conserve energy in present .
How in future, human energy as an alternative source of energy can be used to protect the environment.

The information that I am going to present will have 3 parts:

PAST
PRESENT
FUTURE

STORY BOARD EXPERIMENTS-Part 2

I have been drawing boxes since morning. Finally have a proper story boards. I feel proud about myself to come this far in so little time when i have never done motion graphics and story boarding ever in my life...

STORY BOARD EXPERIMENTS

We had our last tutorial with Peter as Andy couldn't come.
The week prior to this tutorial I had been experimenting with the storyboards. I was doing it for the first time in my life, which was exciting in itself. It was a good chance to show it to peter today.

Feedback: Peter asked me not to use stick figures for my storyboard, instead use the actual characters.
So i need to change it now... more work!!!!

User Testing-part-2

Mathew

Mathew is a middle school going boy. I asked him for his comments on the characters i developed and explained him my project and explained him the concept of how he can generate his own power while playing football.
He really got excited and suggested me if we can have the character printed on the balls with such mechanism.

User Testing-part-1

Today I tested my work with the target audience and got some feedback:

Joseph

Joseph is a 12 year old school going boy. I showed my visuals to him and asked for his feedback and comments, this helped me to take decisions.
I showed him the Visual for the football's Inductive coil mechanism and asked him if it was clear. He couldn't understand it in the first instant and took time to understand it.
Seeing his reaction I decided to label the magnet and the metal coil.

Adding the names
