My chosen story

While I haven't decided on a name for this story. I can say I've decided , on a story.

I originally thought of this story a few years ago after doing research into the sacrifices that many Transgender individuals make in their lives, especially the ones who end up having to cut off contact from their parents. This included documentary's such as My Transexual Summer on Channel 4  As well as researching real stories.

MY Project features the story of a young woman, who ran away form her parents at a young age. When the story starts, she's returned to the city she ran away from after finding out her parents have both been killed in a car crash and she's been named legal guardian of the 5 year old sister she never knew she had.


The story in itself is inspired by a number of TV & Film dramas. For example the story of Gilmore Girls which had one of its main character, Lorelai, run away from her parents at a young age when she found out she was pregnant.

Changes to my project due to The Coronavirus Outbreak

Unfortunately my project has stalled for a few weeks while I figure out how to proceed with my project. My original project was going to compose of 5 finished scenes that would've come together to compose a trailer. However with what I've got to work with at home, this simply isn't possible. At uni I'm using a full cintiq setup, however at home I'm using a Microsoft Surface Go which simply isn't strong enough to run animation software such as Toonboom or Maya. It's battery is only good for about 2 hours and overheats if the charger is left in for too long or I'm running extraneous software such as Premiere or After Effects. And I don't have a proper stand for it so have to lean over it, so I have to take regular breaks otherwise I'll end this project with a worse hunchback than Quasimodo (Hunchback of Notre Dame). Despite this I'm determined to come out of this deadline with some sort of finished project, which is why after talking to my ...

Picking a Scene-Scene 3

Image
Scene 3 Scene 3 takes place on the rooftop of Heartwell tower. As Hayley looks out at the New York Skyline, she remembers herself sitting on the rooftop as a kid, before making a call to her therapist. As she records a voice message we see the mindset that Hayley has at the beginning of the story. She starts to slowly panic as she realises where she is and what she has to do, eventually at the end of a monologue, she manages to briefly calm herself before the voice message abruptly reaches it's limit. Leaving her to watch over the skyline. Analysis I really like the idea of this scene and was one of the first scenes I imagined when thinking of the story. The idea of sitting on a rooftop is inspired by more eastern anime imagery for example in Kingdom Hearts. Verdict I definitely think this scene suits a motion comic well, there is a lot I can do with the art style and with more simple After Effects movement that I can run on my tablet without overrunning it.
