I was going to start tomorrow, but I just couldn't wait. So 11 pm today, I learned the constraints:
Genre: Courtroom Drama
Props: A bouncy castle, an anchor
Line: I could've been a contender (Adele says from Raging Bull, but I say from On the Waterfront)
I think I already have the plot and a way to make it with only two characters and a narrator. The hard parts will be that what I'm thinking of now involves a lot of talk from the narrator and a lot of movement. I chose narration so that I'd avoid problems with lip synch. Having no speech would have solved the same problem, but then that would have put a lot of stress on the visuals. This way, I get to move the story along and I get to add the narration after the visuals have been defined. Next step: some basic modelling and working out the details for the first animatic, hopefully by tomorrow, but Sunday at the latest.
The plot I have in mind is inspired by Resevoir Dogs, Death and the Maiden, and a Play For Today about WW II bomber crews.

ReplyDeleteThanks Junior - I'm a bit naive at all this. I couldn't find a follow gadget, so I put some subscribe links in and copied the follow html from the top. Does that work? I'll have to look around some other blogs and see what they do.
