So here are the notes from 6/27 I believe. It was me, Jordyn, Brace, and Martin. We came up with what we think is a decent final storyline, but it could still use some polishing. Here are the notes, along with visuals from our meeting.
We will try to tell this story
without dialogue or voice overs. This will make our animation stand out a bit more and focusing on the pantomimes will be great practice for all of us.
TEXT DESCRIPTION:
- Opening scene: low point of view with the guy's boots splashing in the mud.
- We see 2 teenage guys walking towards the bridge with their backs to the camera. Misty bridge in the distance.
- One guy is more of a pest than the other (let's call him Matt). Matt is teasingly throwing coins over his shoulder while the other guy (let's call him Ted) warns him to stop. Matt keeps throwing coins.
Coin-throw transition from Matt to little boy using the arc of their arms.
- Shot of sister and little brother together at the bridge. We see older sister's arm on the little boy's shoulder as to establish relationship. Backs are to camera.
- We see little boy tossing coins in.
- Little boy gets distracted and runs out of frame to either catch his hat, or catch a frog...etc.
- Girl is looking somber (contemplating suicide).
- Girl climbs up on bridge and is ready to jump.
- Kid gets up on bridge with girl and has a big smile on his face as if they're playing a fun game.
- Girl is startled and tries to help him down immediately.
- Kid foot slips.
- Kid starts falling and transitions into a raindrop.
Raindrop transition back to the two teenage guys.
- Raindrop falls on Matt's shoulder as he continues to cockily toss in coins.
- Matt looks over to Ted, but a shimmer catches his eye on the pavement behind Ted.
- Matt can barely make out the line of coins.
- Coin gets throw back up and hits Matt (or maybe Ted -- might be easier to see from the angle) on the head.
- They exchange a terrified look.
- Guys run away.
- Camera pans down to the line of coins, that are shimmering and flickering in the light.
