ok this is my first blog update for the project to do with navigation, we have to create a story board animatic and a pre viz animation that we could then give to a professional who could then go and create a highly detailed animation of our work.
the first lesson we had we where given 3 things to work with to help shape our story
i was given
character: scarecrow
environment: Heaven
object: jigsaw puzzle
at first it was quite hard to work out a story involving these things but with the help from people in our class and talking i thought up a little story which i have been working on for the past week and creating a story board which i am drawing up at the moment. i am then gonna take the storyboard, colour in photoshop and create the animatic using premier or flash and add some music, after i have created these i am going to work on the pre viz animation.
here is my story so far well what i have thought of, i am twaeking it as i go tho so this is a rough draft
on a farm, there is a farmer with a disability, he cant walk, he has a puzzle which he gives to his daughter, as she sets off with the puzzle down the track road, she drops the puzzle accidently at the scarecrows feet, the farmer goes over to the puzzle and picks it up, he hands the puzzle to the scarecrow who then sets off for the farmer to give the puzzle back to his daughter.
on the scarecrows journey the scarecrow gets hit by a truck and we think he has died, the scarecrow opens his eyes and is at the gates to scarecrow heaven, he goes through the big farm gates and goes into heaven, he see's haystacks everywhere and loads of other scarecrows, he wanders around for a bit and then remembers the puzzle in his pocket, as he remembers the puzzle he suddenly falls through the hay and plumets towards earth, towards his body, he suddenly opens his eyes and see's the farmers daughter looking over him, he gives her the puzzle and she takes the puzzle and starts to rearange the pieces to make the puzzle, we then see the final puzzle and it is an image of the farmer, his daughter and the scarecrow standing together all happy, the farmers daughter smiles at the scarecrow and the scarecrow heads off back to the farm.
when he gets to the farm he stands in his usual spot and smiles at the farmer, the farmer smiles back and walks into the farm house and the screen fades to black
the end
thats my rough idea so far, if any1 can help please do and leave me a comment, thanx.

Hi Alan - SURPRISE! Yes, it's your tutor leaving you a comment about your story idea - as you requested! I like your story idea actually - it has a strangeness that appeals and a slight Wizard of Oz feel - how appropriate! That said, I'd like you to be able to 'explain' it in terms of its symbolism; if it is an allegory (look it up) what it is an allegory for? Also, when you start to storyboard your idea, let the storyboarding process change, refine and perfect it - remember, you should consider dynamic camera angles, tracking shots, close-ups etc... also, be sure to keep your blog updated; i see no visual reference for scarecrows for instance, no film clips that have the 'look' you want to create... don't let this part of your submission let you down again - and, on that note, I'll sign off and see you bright and early for your interim crit!
