Hey everyone!

This was intended for a short 2-3 minute animation i was going to work on (which is why it's only 3 pages long). I recorded all of John's lines, even prepared the setting for the first scene and started animating, but then abandonned the whole thing when i realized that Lowman 1.2, as great a rig as he may be, wasn't going to pull off a short story like this convincingly. :)

Good practice and i wanted to see what kind of response i'd get from it. Feel free to tear it apart. A friend of mine, Alex Bourt, was kind enough to have already done that to get the script to where it is now. Aside from formatting errors, i considered it to be done but like i said, i still want as many critiques as possible.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Very ambitious for a short 2 minute clip, and you know what.... I liked it.

If it was a longer script, I would've asked for some more character development, but for a short script, its pretty impressive. Heh, interesting plot twist at the end. You got my two thumbs up!

sweet thanks man! Glad you liked it! :bounce:

Yeah it needed a LOT more character development that i was aching to throw in, but if i did, i'd have made it longer than it already was, so i tried to give John and Tony as much depth as possible without taking too much space.

The ending was especially what i wanted to nail. I still had to cut a lot of it short... ideally, the reader should be suffering with John at the moment of hesitation and trying to figure out whether he's gonna kill Tony or not. The movie Seven came to mind :)
