Entry 21 - Rotoscope Plot Synopsis

From what I've seen and the parameters of the project, I've gotten a gereral idea on my video structure:

  • (0:00 - 0:02)  Fade in. Character is sitting in seat drawing.
  • (0:02 - 0:05) Character tries to use pen, but the pen has run out of ink. The character takes the pen and chucks it. He reaches for a new pen from his shirt pocket.
  • (0:05 - 0:08) He taps the bottom of the pen. A laser shoots out from the pen.
  • (0:08 - 0:11) He walks toward laser blasted wall.
  • (0:11 - 0:13) Character looks at the wall. A portion of it has been rotoscoped.
  • (0:13 - 0:15) He touches the wall that's been rotoscoped.
  • (0:15 - 0:17) Character pulls hand away to reveal his palms become rotoscoped.
  • (0:17 - 0:21) He enters kitchen to wash hands.
  • (0:21 - 0:23) Character's face becomes irritated.
  • (0:23 - 0:27) His hands are now worse in rotoscope.
  • (0:27 - 0:31) He slaps his face in irritation. H erealizes he's made it even worse.
  • (0:31 - 0:34) He leaves the room. He takes heavy duty soap with him.
  • (0:34 - 0:37) Camera changes to outside a bathroom.
  • (0:37 - 0:38) An angry groan can be heard.
  • (0:38 - 0:42) The fully rotoscoped character goes down the stairs.
  • (0:42 - 0:45) He sits down upon the couch.
  • (0:45 - 0:48) Character looks at the pen and the mess.
  • (0:48 - 0:53) The character gets an idea.
  • (0:53 - 0:54) The character gets some ink remover.
  • (0:54 - 0:56) The character pours some of the ink remover into a cloth and wipes his finger.
  • (0:56 - 0:58) Character's finger is gone. Cartoon blood shoots out.
  • (0:58 - 1:00) Character flips out. Short ends.
From my previous synopsis, this story ended up becoming more in depth than the way I did it before. I also realize that when it comes time to make the storyboard, I'll more than likely have to make multiple panels for different time frames. That way, I'll be able to show the movement and be able to make a more in depth storyboard than my previous.
