Short Film Animatic

I have 2 versions of the story board/animatic. The difference is in the acting choices for Rokk Mann. The first one I just had him struggling but it had no real climax. So on the second one he's reaching towards the sun in some sort of symbolic way.
Also, you'll notice that towards the end it looks like he drops and then trips over. The reason for this drop is that the rock he is emerging from is thick mud or soft clay to him, so as he puts his weight onto his foot to lift his body, then the mud/clay gives way and he drops.
