Final project

Here is the final project. I hope everyone love it.

Shot list

Hi everyone! It has been awhile since I wrote about my progress towards the final animation. The animation is done but I wanted to share with you my shot list

I did it in excel. As you can see I put in the number of shots, locations, the characters in that scene, the type of camera angle. This really helped to organize my thoughts. Some of these entries I added a description of the scenes. If you do this on your own you could add what type of effects you want or even dialogue. I would recommend that at least the shot number and camera angle be placed in the shot list especially if your animation has only one locations. Your shot list can be made in any word processing program(but I would not recommend notepad) It can also be made on paper and scanned.

If for some reason you can't get microsoft office with a student ID, Libreoffice is a wonderful shareware software for word processing that mimics office and thus you can use tables to organize your list(and its free).

My working Script

<Hidden Unicorns-Working title>

by

<Mikaela Arnold>


INT. HOSPITAL ROOM. MORNING
Cassidy, a fourteen year old Irish female, is walking in to the hospital room to check out her new baby brother. She sees her mom lying on the bed holding the new member of the family.This is little Aaiden. He has a little truffle of blond hair. On her bedside table there is a small picture of Cassidy, her mom, and dad with a card announcing Cassidy's mother having a baby boy
 The walls are purple and the floor is white. A baby is in a little basket on the floor.
Zoom in closer to Aaiden
Cassidy picks up Aaiden carefully. He looked like a little burrito swaddled in a blue blanket with his name embedded. Cassidy giggles at the baby noises he was making.
 Suddenly On his forehead a little horn appeared within the small puff of hair . A small glowing light is emitting from his horn. He giggles while emitting flowers that circle around. Cassidy stares confusedly at the baby. Is she seeing things due to studying too hard for the end of the Semester exam? She sees her mom coming back and yells for her. She is both in awe and terrified of her new born brother.
