New Backstory Boards

So I think I finally figured out how exactly my Bunny gets to the show. I think this composition works. I was working that out still on Thursday. Here’s my shot list:

Shot 1: Mid-Est shot: Bunny hops up onto table, there is a magazine and a hula lamp on the table. She reads the magazine.
Shot 2: Close up on the DANCERS WANTED ad for the “Amateur Dance Night”
Shot 3: Close up of Bunny’s face, with stars in her eyes.
Shot 4: Same as shot one, Bunny reaches over and turns off the lamp
     BLACK OUT: we hear paper ripping and rustling of a grass skirt.
Shot 5: Same as shot four, except the Bunny is gone, the Hula Lamp girl is naked (Barbie style) and the ad is ripped out of the magazine.

Hula Bun – Revised Back-story

So I felt like my back-story didn’t really fit in very well to the motif we have going on. Plus I was watching my bunny sit in his cage and thought of this, it’s really cute so I think I’ll go with this instead. Make her bunny-sized as well, so when she hops on stage she’s super tiny :)

Thurs. 9/16 meeting notes

Okay so we decided to have everyone pick a shape and come up with a character design for our 3 Judges. That way we’ll have some selection to choose from:

Kala – Diamond
Ryan – Square or Circle
Michelle & Nak – Triangle
Hapi – Square
Lauren – Oval

Justin, since you were home by the time you got the message we were meeting just pick any old shape. Please post under Character Design category on this blog before we meet on Thursday.

Hare the rest of my drawings and notes from our meeting (sorry the drawings are totally crap but at least they have the ideas down!):

Oh right, I’m going to make a mock up background in Photoshop of the precession to see if we like that look for the background. Then everyone can pick it apart and we can re-arrange it as a group.

The start of the auditions will be an exterior of the theatre, with “AUDITIONS TODAY” or something like that in big letters blinking or scrolling. Then a shot of the precession (stage), then a silhouetted shot of empty seats. The 3 judges will walk in and sit down.

So when we talked about our transitions between dances, in the interest of time we decided on having one animation of the stage’s curtain’s opening and closing to indicate a transition between dances, and the last time all the characters will be lined up together for their bow.

We’ll need to gather all of our character model sheets together, and play around with scale in photoshop to see what order we like them in. So please post your character model sheet onto the blog under the category character designs.

The end will be the bow, and the judges giving them a standing ovation. At least that’s what we last decided on. All this of course may be subject to change because it’s not unlikely that we will think of something else at this point! ;)
