Hey all,
ok, I'll throw my hat in the ring for this one. I know it's late in the game :) but I worked two full time jobs until a few days ago and just didn't have the energy to think about this, heh...
So here's my premise and a quick'n'rough animatic:
My main focus is on portraying the change in the character when she finds the ring.
Premise: A messenger on his way to Gondor stumbles across the One Ring and is seduced by its power.
Script: A messenger runs up a flight of stairs past the one ring. She sees it out of the corner of his eye, stops, and walks over to investigate. She picks up the ring and examines it. She likes it very much, in fact so much that she becomes all paranoid - did someone see her pick it up? She draws her sword and looks around to make sure. There's no one around... but the people that sent her this way know she came by here. They have to be silenced. No one can know about this find. Sword drawn, she turns back to where she came from and crawls towards her first victims.
This is a rough first draft of the basic poses - it's an animated gif so the timing is not tuned.
