I've been conceptualizing this story for a couple weeks now, just because I wanted to make a new film before graduating. I wrote a poem about how my latest big heartbreak was actually not caused by someone else, rather it was my own fault. I've had a hard time verbally explaining this feeling to friends and family, so I figured it'd be a good thing to try and express through my art.
The prompt for this project also lined up really well with my vision for my story, so I figured this would be a good assignment to attach to it. I've worked with the adobe suite a little bit in the past, so I'm excited to try and work with some new tools, that will hopefully help out with the creative work flow/process.
The storyboard is below, but the general rundown will be that my character bursts into a little work shop. He plops a dead little heart guy down on the workbench and a montage follows where he's trying to resuscitate it. It doesn't work out so he slumps down with his head in his knees. An off screen character asks my character what happened and who broke the heart guy this time. My character talks about how it was actually his own fault and that he's nervous that it might for good this time.
Suddenly the little heart guy comes back to life and my character is stoked. The offscreen character asks what now, and my character gives the heart guy a little briefcase and hat and says he deserves a vacation. The heart guy leaves the scene and the offscreen character asks if my character is going to be alright without him, and my character just says, "yep" the film ends there.
The live action bit centers around a friend and I having a conversation in the park about typical 20-year old struggles until my character sees something and freezes on the spot. The camera pans down to a little animated heart on his chest and then the animation starts.
Should be kinda neat...
