Important Update!

So today in class i got lots of suggestions for improvements on the script from Jack. I think it made me realise the potential of story development. So many different ideas came out from Jack, so i just started to re-edit my script. Now it's the 4th draft.

Basically the changes are:

The entire establishment scene was cut off - mainly because it's not essential to the story and doesn't help progress it. It would be awesome if i'll finish the animation and i'll have extra time to do it, but MAYBE. In the meantime i'm cutting it (Neale, Jack and Darren said the same).

Instead of having the guy wakes up hysterically and rushes to the wardrobe, we see Minnie wakes up to a rushing footsteps.

Instead of having the guy waving a finger angrily, she'll roll the ball towards him and he will trip over - what makes her reaction funny - the camera would shake and the sound fx would be added as well.

The ball as a symbolic thing - that would go with her all the way to the airport - the ticket would stick to it, as well as the leafs from the bushes after she will be passing the fence.

To increase and hold on the moment where Minnie is left behind (strong noises in the background to make it dramatic).

At the airport add a long line of people standing behind Nir waiting angrily.

I think These changes make me focus more on the dog and that's what i wanted from the first place. My mission for the weekend is to finish Thumbnails + script.

I would love to start Storyboarding and create the animatic as soon as possible because i know i have much more complex visuals to deal with - especially the animation and the layout.

But i have a much better feeling now with the new version.
