Semester project week 1

We have finally begun our half year project and I joined a already made group with Lasse and Thomas. As they had already planned out to be in group before the project had started they had some time to plan out what the short movie would be about, so I lost out on the first decisions makings such as making the story for the project and first draft of the project plan. Unfortunate this means that none of my treatments I have been writing this year was not a part of the stories our group had to choose from, and several of them I were interested to make into a 3d short. 

Lasse and Thomas choose one of Lasses’ treatments, to begin with it I had problems visualizing the story, but when we started draw up the storyboard it become clear and now I like it a lot. It’s about a world of square creatures which are struggling building a great symbolic structure. They are unable to build it and it keeps falling down when they are close to finish the structure. Suddenly there is a great spectral light in the horizon. The Squares dispatch troops to investigate and finds, to them, a strange creature within a crater where they saw the light come from. This creature is sphere shaped and brings with him a new way of thinking to the Squares world, unfortunately the Square is not ready for his way of thinking.

Our first week together went to quickly try to visualize the story together, and review the story and rewrite it as a scriptment. We also had some time to draw up several concepts to help to visualize the story.
