its not an excercise. this is my final year film at animation school. It's 3-5 minutes animation short so everything's open and it's all up to me. i'm trying to think if this is a story worth devoting my next 7 sleepless months for.

Do you think I should tell the story as-is, or give it some twists around the main story? In example, the whole city is deserted and its only the two of them there.

Thank knightly! Though I already have my doubts creeping in.. isn't the story a cliche? The vision - I like your story so far, but it's a whole different story than then one I wanted to tell! Plus its a 3d animation 3 minute film with no dialogue so no way all that will fit. I appreciate your...

Heys! So in an effort to "keep it simple", they told me to pickup a known story I like and make up my own version. I thought up the following story and already been given some good feedback. "A poor homeless kid passes by a food stand run by an old man. The old man can't really cook and the...

My first idea was that. The hero sees the mugger playing with the stress ball and the other homelessmen too (the mugger was a homeless). Anyways that's off the table too it seems. now they want me to do my interpertation of "the giving tree".

Do you see this as a good, coherent story?

Got dammit my teacher didn't like that one either.

:) Which version do you think sound better? the scientist with the stress balls or the comic book artist ? Also, which part do you think needs to be worked on. edit : okay i'm going for the scientist version and the invention will be fake smile teeth. Also knighly, you might've missed it, but...

Certeinly seems like I'm better at making story up than plotting them in a coherent way for others. Here is a new story I wrote. Disclaimer : EVERY story I've written here is a progression of an earlier story with lessons I learned between them. I do not completely abandon a concept, I'm just...

I meant the structure in existing short films not in general.

knighlly - The reason I started this topic is because this is an issue that is causing me trouble. Telling a coherent story. I have plenty of ideas but putting them in a short film structure prooved problematic for me ( As in, I've been told it is ) and that is the reason I came here to talk to...

Thanks for the responses! Knightly - Which story did you think worked?

Rayw - I'm on it. Knightly - Same thing my teacher told me, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. just trying to come up with a good story.

What do you guys think: In a robot world identical to our own, everyone wears a monitor on their chest showing bars indicating their health, money, mood and energy. The hero will wake up on one ordinary day to find out his health bar is increasing in an alarming rate and try everything he can to...

which sites for instance?

I'm going back to writing today with renewed energies. I'll write down what I have later and would love to hear your feedback everyone.

Back after a few days rest. JohL what did u mean "I think your story is pretty simple and tried and true at the core". cliche?

No, the actual deadline of being completely finished with the story + storyboard. people have not started work on their movies. I've already got some notes from him: - Story has no point as he is imagining it. - his realization that there are no demoms seems a bit forces as it is. - And no...

Is this an "it is a great idea" or a "leave me the f**k alone"? Hopefully someone less cynical will have something to say that will actually help me out.
