LeDuck Tales

Part 1

Part 2

The central idea, and the idea that we pitched for our Summative, is to provide a comedic glimpse into the daily routine of Mr Leduc. The twist, and much of the comedy is from the fact that Mr Leduc is represented by a duck in a blazer and glasses that performs the same tasks that his real life counterpart would, just as a duck.

Below, you will find the storyboard for Mr Leduck. Drawn by Aidan Langdon, conceptualized by Kayleigh Swinn and Aidan Langdon
