Hello everyone !
For the beginning I will put here the short plot of the movie and introduce my self in few words. As anyone could guess I would like to do some animation at a real animation studio someday not too far from now, so I have started a short movie project by my self in my spare time after job. I am currently working as 3D character and concept artist in Romania. All I have so far for the movie is done by me, but as expected there are tons of thing that I have to ask regarding the production of a movie from story boarding to directing and from rigging to composing and so on . Even I am all alone on the project, with you guys maybe I will have a chance to finish this project and not just that but to do a great work out of it. As far as my training I was mostly self instructor :) ( I don't know the appropriate expression in English) I have buy some tutorials from Jason Ryan , as much as i could , also i have the Animator survival kit (the book and the tutorials) The Illusion of life and some other like Timing for animation and so on.
With that said I wish my self !! Good Luck!! and lets get to work!!
I am expected as much comments and opinion as you can so don’t hesitate !
Here is the short plot:
[b]Neighborhood watchers!![/b]_WIP
The story starts with the image of a newspaper page with the headline "A dangerous killer escaped from town police ",the killer picture and the article body.
Convicted murderer Tom Watkins escaped while working at the low security Prison.
Watkins was serving a life sentence for the last month murder of Janet Eddison and Catherine Stevens. He had been working at the prison when he walked off about 12.15pm. Staff at the prison noticed he was missing about 1pm.
Police said they consider Watkins dangerous and ask anyone to avoid walking out alone and check home doors.(is not mandatory to understand the article text)
The camera zoom out and we can see the terrified face of a little boy reading the newspaper with his cat sleeping next to him. Suddenly, a woman scream can be distinguished from outside. The boy springs up throwing away the newspaper. In the same time the cat get up ruffling. They both run to the loft stairs. In their run, they crack some objects in the room.
They climb the stairs at full speed, enter the loft loudly banging the door, alarming the pigeons which shortly fly away (wings noise). The boy keep away from their way. The pigeons fly away on the opened window. In the same time, a little mouse runs alarmed by the produced noise.
The boy and the cat get quickly to the staff box, put on their Zorro like masks, jumps in fighters positions, scream Neighborhood watchers!! and run on the window. They run on houses roofs to the place the screams comes from (running and jumping scenes, at a given moment the boy fall down the jump). We can see his fall from above(first the fact he fall down the roof) and then the low picture with a tubby noise and a dust cloud getting out from a boscage. The cat climb down too.
The camera moves on a dog cage, from which darkness we can see 2 eyes and hear a strong growl.
The boy and the cat looked concerned one at each other, hearing footsteps approaching.
Worried, the boy asks the cat Did you hear this?
They both start trembeling with fear. The cat, answers the boy sluttering TTTell me were nnnnot in some bbad dogs yard. In that moment we can hear the dogs fierce bark.
The boy answers I wouldn't say no. Common!!, they turned their heels and break away. While they are running, we can see on the house walls the big and fierce dog shadow open-mouthed chasing them. In the course of the chasing, they make lot of noise and different funny things happens(they break down the garbage while jumping a grille, get stick into clothes line). Finally they get to a high grill they succeed jump at the moment the bad dog was about to get the boys leg. Now it will be the first cadre with the entire dog, which is in fact a little dog revolted he missed them.
Immediately after jumping the grille they observed in front of them, behind a curtain, two people: an armed man wanting to kill a defenseless woman.
... I won't publish the end for now.
