Well, It's here... class 5... the story production class at AM. This is where we develop our story ideas that will eventually become our animated short. We basically use all of this class to flesh out a proper/entertaining story idea... and we take that idea... plan the shots... the camera angles... make a layout... and make a story reel. Then in class 6... we will use the entire time to animate.

It's pretty hard to come up with the ideas for the short... AM has shrunk down the time for the short... I think that it used to be at least a minute... now it's only 30 seconds... It's really hard to come up with a traditional beginning, middle and end kind of format.

I've luckily come up with my required 3 ideas to start off with... and now this week we are supposed to narrow it down to 2 choices... and then do a video/acting/story pitch for those... and then next week... I suppose we'll be down to just one... OH.. but which one?????
