Project 6 (Final)

April 28, 2011

Since the first showing on Tuesday the intro is better. I messed up when I was editing and moving layers I left a couple of empty from frames between layers, so that needs to be fixed.

The guard on the battlements needs to run faster.

When the king looks out on the balcony, there needs to be a reverse shot of the red knight doing something evil.

Experiment more with the fight shots/ slow mo shots.

Peasants in the background need movement/ reactions during fights.

More celebration during the end and showing peasant with blood on his face in the shot.

I plan to have audio, so this weekend I plan on editing that also.

Story Board

Logline

A fearful king tries to save his kingdom against a foe with the unlikeliest of heroes.

Idea for Final Project

1. Overcoming fear by inspiration. How does one overcome fear? There are many answers to this, but I believe the one that stands out the most is inspiration. We at one point or another have been nervous or afraid to do or overcome a problem/situation, but then have seen or been inspired by another's actions to overcome that fear whether that person overcome the same problem or not.

2.

Sir Quinley the Unquestionably Small Knight

A mysterious warrior approaches a castle and is spotted by the guard on the battlements. The towns folk become fearful and hide as he approaches. The guard tells the king of the foe and points to the wall of wanted posters. A little knight by the name of Quinley speaks up before the king wanting to face the adversary. The king doesn't believe that this small fellow could be of any use to him and ignores him. The king sends out his most skilled and toughest knights. The fearsome foe kills them all with ease. The king becomes frantic and sends more men out but they all day by warrior's sword. Without any more men to spare the king finally lets the little knight go to battle. The towns people watch as he approaches the warrior. The little one strikes and lands a blow but it does not seem to faze the monstrous warrior. The Quinley is knocked to the ground several times but keeps getting back up. The towns people watch and wonder why this knight won't give up. He is thrown to the ground one more time and before he can get up the warrior is stand over him lifting his sword for the final blow. Suddenly a rock hits the man from behind. He turns and sees the towns folk have gathered, rocks in hand. They drive the rogue warrior out and cheer for the little knight.

3. I want to show how an individual can inspire others to over come their fear even if they are not succeeding but by getting up again and again.

4. Aesthetically I will hand draw the images then clean them up on the computer. I want to try to make the images simple and easy to make, yet interesting to the viewer. I would like to have a mixture of still image shots with camera movement and heavily jointed characters with basic camera and shots. I have a lot of shots to produce but would like to save time by making the character's aesthetics as simple as possible yet pleasing and interesting to watch.

6. Act 1. Warrior approaches. King is notified. Towns people are afraid.

    Act 2. Kings sends knights out. They die. Quinley is sent out to battle. Town folk watch intently.

    Act 3. Quinley gets knocked down for the final time. He is rescued by town.

The colorful aesthetic of this piece is something I'd like to try and use for my final, maybe not as much detail though.
