Week1

During the holiday I came up with 2 stories,

The first one is about a Ninja faces the challenge in a mysterious house on a lake which it appears every 100 years. the Ninja is allow to have 3 lives and each time he dies the world that he's in changes (3D to 2D to claymation).

The second one is called Snowballs, the story is about a girl name Maya who lost her parents in a bomb attack in war time. She's later on adopted by a lady who turn Maya's life into hell. One cold winter night the lady kicks Maya out of the house, Maya hopelessly walks away and snow starts to fall. Maya later on fall to her death because of the freezing weather, she reunites with her parents once more.

Jack said the first one is a bit too long and personally i think to try 3 mediums of animation is a bit too hard and time consuming. So i decided to go with the second one instead. Snowballs has a good structure and character's backgrounds, but then same as the Ninja it's way too long for 1 minute animation.

Right now I'm trying to write a shots list to see how long it will turn out and hopefully it turns out right. I'm aiming about 2 minutes max. Otherwise i will have to cut down and that worries me.
