So I was a little disappointed with my feedback. I can see exactly where all the points are coming from, however I followed story boarding as I was taught in foundation. Wish there had been more direction on this or more info. I got confused. Anyway, here were the main points from my feedback: Remove and refine dialogue - at the moment its not doing its purpose and is taking up too much time - try and doing it more visually. Draw and refine characters thinking about modelling - turn around drawings and higher designed style (like simpsons example) Redesign environment to be emersive (like Wreck it Ralph) - decide on design period (?1960s) - alter design of bedroom - no generic space. Think about shot communication in animatic - storyboard I also had a reasonable length conversation with Simon after the Maya class. He reminded me of something I had forgotten which was stressing me out hugely:  Remember Pre-Vis can be very simple modelling. Potential time p...

Lusus Naturae Script by Eleanor 'Nelly' Luckett on Scribd

Between the OGR and now I have been trying to fully get my head into the world of my story, a toy city. I wanted to try and get an idea of how the characters would live and how they would react in response to an event like a terror attack. This, for me, meant a lot of research and reading, as well as the nescessary elements such as rewriting my step outline, proposal etc. So here is an update of where I am with more to come over the next couple of days. Enjoy. Image research by Eleanor 'Nelly' Luckett on Scribd I have also been starting some character design work following our character class this afternoon. Here it is. I also decided that as part of the design of the hospital, I wanted to have the word "Healer" on a sign outside, however I wanted it written in a different language and preferably one that has a highly visual language. I know this is a tiny detail to think about now, however I would like this to be a recurring theme thro...

From Script to Screen OGR by Eleanor 'Nelly' Luckett on Scribd

I decided that part of the issue with my story telling might be that I was talking about subjects that I had no personal experience of. So, I decided that it might ultimately be better to base my story on my own knowledge and experiences instead. PTSD is a difficult subject for a child and especially to portray to others, however this is something that needs to be tackled more and could ultimately be highly effective. "Buried Alive" A young child has had a bad experience (?loss of a parent?) and ends up with PTSD. Her carer sends her to therapy as she really isn't coping, has become insular, uncommunicative and randomly burst into tears.  Her therapist tries a number of therapies - EMDR, CBT and council ling. None work Girl still thinks she is stupid, overreacts to everything and doesn't understand why no one talks to her. The only thing that helps the girl cope is a small rabbit doll. Psychologist decides toys might help her recover and understand what's ...

So I've been struggling a little with the stories and details for the From Script to Screen project, so I decided to make inspiration boards for each of the prompts. Toy Maker .  https://www.pinterest.co.uk/anadora97/toy-maker/ Toys https://www.pinterest.co.uk/anadora97/puzzle-boxes/ https://www.pinterest.co.uk/anadora97/dolls/ Airport https://www.pinterest.co.uk/anadora97/airport/ Microscope https://www.pinterest.co.uk/anadora97/microscope/ I'm hoping that these images will help me to get some clarity as well as hopefully some inspiration and new and inspiring ideas. More to come soon!!!!

So following Phil and Jackie's feedback, I wrote two more possible plots. These both clearly use the prop of the microscope, which I am finding quite restricting and challenging. "The Pharaoh's assistant" Ancient cartouche being researched from a recent excavation, detail missed on corner - requires (microscope) enlargement on computer. Depicts Pharaoh's entertainer/toy maker entertaining a group of children. Name inscribed next to hieroglyphics ????? Dive/flash into cartouche into the story of the Toy Maker Cartouche in top secret/fragile suitcase moving through airport.  Act 1 Shot: Focussing on suitcase with fragile and Secret written on it. Zooming out to hand holding it and walking through corridor. Man in suit walks out of shot.  Shot: Research lab. Working on cartouche, removing debris. Notice a small, additional inscription on bottom corner. No use with magnifying glass, so decide to use computer enlarger (microscope). Act 2 Sho...

The three objects I was given for my narrative to be based on were: a Toy Maker, An Airport and a Microscope. I immediately found some ideas beginning to form in my head and develop themselves, winding into a plot that I quite like, whereas other ideas required much more in depth thinking and development and I don't find them quite as intuitive. I have basically ended up with two workable plots, which I have nicknamed (for now) "The Scanner Incident" and "Childhood Sweethearts". "The Scanner Incident" Opens with shot showing "childs" leg being shoved into a suitcase See Toy maker trying to board flight with suitcase - goes through scanner - "body" shows up Toy Maker interigated and explains - suitcase is opened  Flashback showing him creating doll with incredible detail - magnifying glasses, letter from little girl on desk - sister very ill, doll is way to make her feel better.  NB - from here out TM = Toy Maker A...

During our briefing today we were given starting points for both our Soundscapes project and the Script to Screen project. Soundscapes For this project we were given three images and asked to create a 30 second soundtrack for what we think each image would sound like. I decided to start by brainstorming ideas of what each image made me think of. This was a bit of a challenge but ultimately should help me start figuring out what direction to take the sounds in for each soundscape.  Soundscape 1 My initial thoughts/ideas were: Vibrating Moving Colliding  Slither Bustle Busy Layers Clicking Clanking Metal Organic Fingerprint Changing Modulating Buzzing Alive Chasing Occupied Smooth Curves Flowing Pieces Parts Machine Colony Hive Repetition Soundscape 2 My initial thoughts were: Pumping Dropping Difference Round Overall Busy Empty Full Bubble Emptying Group Hive School Heart Disintegrate Dying Surrounded Me...
