Genre: Drama
A small girl flies a kite and it gets caught in a tree on the edge of the forest. She can’t reach it no matter how hard she tries. The girl suddenly sees something. It’s a small creature looking from the shadows of trees. It helps out by making the tree bend its branch down to release the kite. Then the girl offers the furry creature a turn of the kite. The creature accepts and both play with the kite until the sun goes down. END
Methodology: characters are to be modeled in 3D. The environment will also be 3D orientated with possible 2D backgrounds. The foreground will consist of grass and leaves on the trees and some shrubs. I’m really going for the Pixar feel
http://www.pixar.com/shorts/index.html. I know it’s a tall ask but I believe its achievable.
I want to keep the story simple and uncomplicated. There will be little or no dialogue. This is to maximize the acting quality to convey story. This is a heartwarming story of friendship. This story has great potential for depth of emotion and drama
Technical issues:
Air effects(on grass + leaves)
Fur effects
Character rigs.
Lighting.
Rendering time.
Sound effects: wind, leaves rustling, foot steps, wildlife sounds(eg crickets, moths fluttering. Ambience/background sound.
Music: simple evocative melody. Piano and Flute.
