I have decided to get rid rid of the idea that the Librarian dislikes books completely. Whilst wrestling with the story I believe this is the thing that has been causing me problems all along, especially since he has lost the motive of his fathers death. I have decided to change the Librarian to be a character who is going about his daily business in the Library when his attention is drawn to one book in particular. This book then interacts with him.
Here's my first (serious) animatic following the latest beat board that I published here recently: I have been trying to write a narrative that will accompany the images on screen as I feel that my current storyboard needs it for the story to make sense. Currently I imagine the narrator to be someone that is not the Librarian, but someone who the Librarian can hear in his on screen world and perhaps his actions are determined at points by what the narrator is saying, or looks disgruntled if he doesn't quite agree with how his story is being told. Books are windows on the world, they are our teachers, our companions, but most importantly they are storytellers. Some stories have mythical creatures clawing their way out of the pages; some contain romance and a happily ever after; some hold adventure on the high seas. But like the sea, life is unpredictable and this particular story is not a happy one. Character:
To reconsider: 2D and 3D together? Might be too confusing in a short space of time. Could I keep 3D librarian when telling 2D story? However on reflection the 2D by itself would be too seperate from the 3D librarian. May scrap this idea altogether. If there is a back story and it is relevant to the story it needs to make its way onto the screen. | Creative Writing and Story Development
This is where I will be updating my progress with the development of the story. ArchivesMarch 2013 CategoriesAll |
