Lol, still no storyboards. DX
*cross-post, lol*
Somebody PLEASE help me from going insane. DXXXX
My animatic is getting way out of hand. :\ The main problem is:
The story is a little too complex and takes up a good chunk of time just to set up the scenario. I CAN'T HAVE THAT because I want my main focus to be visual ideas that come later. As it is, I have a whole section that I don't know what to do with.
Ideally the introduction would take up 15 seconds, including a title page--the absolute limit on the entire animation is 90 seconds.
What's driving me crazy is the feeling that I'm cutting more and more of what would make the story unique in order to make room for an increasingly boring story, which is this:
An ANGEL (played by M'emo, for anyone interested) is protecting a cathedral from evil influences. He sees a VAMPIRE (who is very nice--Former, if anyone knows him) approach and tries to dissuade him. Well, kill him, that is. :\ The dissuading and the escaping are where I want to spend a maximum amount of time.
(By the way, for anyone who knows M'emo, it's a pretty OOC role for him, but he's a ridiculous enough character . . . plus it's not like most people know who he is.)
For some reason practically everyone I've asked is confused as to why a vampire should not be in a cathedral. :\ It strikes me as pretty obvious, but the working title is "NO VAMPIRES ALLOWED!!" just to be glaringly obvious.
An idea I've been working on is that it starts off in a kind of Angel Instruction Handbook: Rules of a Church Guardian. From there, establishing shots of a cathedral disguised as diagrams, with details. Rules would be placed alongside details of the cathedral along with labeled images of an angel and a vampire fighting. The set-up could actually be a series of still "instructional" images on how to stalk an intruder. :\
I would LOVE to have this story flow with the energy of some of the stuff I saw in Gobelins . . . [link] Seriously, they get RIGHT into the action.
I'd like to focus on a fast-paced, simple story--I'm less interested in gags and all. :\ (I'm sure it's not going to be very popular, then, lol.)
But I could really use anyone I could run the story by, like, again and again and again. IM is preferable--I'm sure it's written somewhere, but I'm at Lovely Lilliput.
