1st Rough Draft Animatic for Short Film

Here is a rough animatic to help visualize the story better without the sound yet. I will be drawing the panels over again with better clearer drawings and camera angles, composition, adding more shots needed, and adding more movement to help visualize camera movements and ideas for the way the short will be animated.

Short Film Summary

Its a sunny day in a little town just outside the city. Kids playing and people working. Suddenly a storm comes in and its starts pouring rain. A window in one of the apartments starts to flash. Inside the apartment lives a happy little family. Mom is out shopping for groceries and left her son of 7 years and daughter of 3 at home. The big brother is frustrated that its raining and he cant go out to play. His little sister is watching her favorite show but it annoys his brother so he changes the channel to watch a monster movie. The brother gets so excited from the monster in the movie he wants to be just like the monster destroying buildings so he start to act like a monster. The brother takes his sisters favorite baby doll and rips it peaces and his sister cries out in terror. The brother realizes what he has done and gets a flash back remembering one time he broke his sister barbie doll. His sister just had to scream out the magic words and he would get a mean spanking from their mom. So she screams "MOMMMYYYY!!!!!!" and the mom spanks the brother. The boy is snapped back to reality and the TV catches his attention again. It shows a super hero defeating the monster and saving the day. So the boy grabs a cape and plays hero. He fixes the baby and puts it back together again and hands it to his little sister. Everything seems like a happy ending until Mom is returns home. The boy begs his sister not to tell on him. The sister reassures him and give him a thumbs up letting him know she wont tell. But she then she turns her thumb upside down and gets ready to scream. The boy turns pale white in fear as his sister turns red with anger. She takes a deep breath and screams. "MOMMMYYYY!!!!!!" Then it cuts to the credits where you hear the brother being spanked.
THE END

Character Designs for Short Film

Here are some character designs I drew with color pencils to test out the look of the characters.

Pencil Cup Art

Sculpture I made with sculpy and acrylic paint for my brother who asked me if I can make him a pencil cup to put on his desk for his new job in Chicago.
