Today we got together to have a look at all the stories we had managed to collect, and from our selection we picked out three that we thought were interesting yet long enough to meet at least the minimum required length. We then refined the stories slightly to put together a script. We didn't want to change their words too much, but in some cases it was necessary to re-work because of lack of detail or direction.
Initial Script/Selected Stories
My Collected Stories (Left) and Ideas For Visuals (Right)
Our next step is to begin to sketch out our individual ideas concerning characters and setting. We have said that we should all go away and draw what we visualise when we read through our initial script and proposed animation ideas, and then from these drawings we can create a refined/final design. We want the style to be consistent throughout so when we get together with our drawings on Friday, we shall assign one person to work on characters, whilst the others shall focus on other pre-production elements such as storyboarding.
I'm very happy with out progress today, and I think the stories we have selected have potential to be really interesting. I also like that we have a range of different responses from different people and questions, yet they are all quite light-hearted which will hopefully result in quite a happy, quirky animation. I am also really pleased that we are still seeing eye-to-eye on what we want the animation to contain/look like.
