Production Schedule

NOTE: all of these time periods and whatnot are verrrry approximate, most of all the backgrounds and rough animation. but.... yes. it will get finished. :)

also, here is my reworked script-thinger.

Sound Effect	Action
1. Jumping rope sfx	Long Shot pan across a garden in early spring (mostly gray, but a bit of green beginning to show in the grass and leaves) at the end of the pan, a little girl is jumping rope along the path and onscreen.
2. jumping stops, panting robin twitter	Med. Close of the girl, she stops jumping, leans on her knees and pants a bit Mary hears the robin and looks around for him
3. More twittering, footsteps	Longer Shot of Mary from up in a tree, the robin hops onto a branch on screen so we see him from the back, Mary sees and steps towards the tree as the robin hops onto the garden wall
4. footsteps	Med./long Mary from the back, the robin is hopping on the wall
5. twittering	Close on the robin, he hops about as he twitters (like he’s talking to Mary)
6. Continue twittering, laughter	Close Mary laughs as she watches the robin
7. twittering	Med. Close Robin hops some more, flies off the wall
8. Twittering/laughing, footsteps	Long Mary steps back as the robin takes off, then gives chase; he flies around the corner of the wall and she follows
9. Twittering and footsteps, low piping music	View into the garden path from a doorway onto the moor. we see the robin fly past and soon Mary follows; she passes the doorway completely, but then turns back and peeks around the doorway
10. Piping music	Long View out onto the moor- short pan across to a tree where a boy is sitting with his back to us, playing the flute. A few animals are around listening
11. Piping music	Close of a squirrel climbing down a tree over the boy’s head; the ground where a few other animals are is in view
12. Footstep	Med. Mary steps softly through the doorway but her step makes a sound and she gasps a little
13. Music stops	The animals look up, and the boy raises a hand, “shh,” but kindly. He puts his hand down and begins to stand up, very slowly
14.	Side med. View of Mary, she blinks a couple times, a bit confused or surprised

lady wasting time on the bridge

that's what she told me the title was. but i didn't draw a bridge. so maybe it's a spiritual bridge, a hypothetical bridge, a musical bridge. or an invisible bridge. i have no idea. only that's what she said.

...drew her during 20th century art history...

rope jumping

the second of the rotoscoping projects. got the original video off of youtube, since there were no little girls who are good at jumping rope handy. :P hm... well, perhaps i COULD animate someone jumping rope by hand... or, i could just be creative with the opening pan shot... >_>

animalopolis

went to the jacksonville zoo with CAS last saturday... got some good sketches. and photos and footage. :) and also that one at the end is from sketch club last week, i forgot to post it before.
