Experimenting with the leica reel.
Duuuuuudes,
I like totally took some initiative and experimented for a couple minutes on the totally hot leica reel.
Seriously, though-
On friday, i went to the computer lab with foo and while she was working on her character stuff for DQ, I borrowed the storyboard panels revised by Tony and i edited with drawn over panels and tweaked the timing a bit more. I looked at his revisions and worked on until the rollerblade scene. I didn't save over anything. I put everything with my name on it saved on a different file (so no worries please). I also put the storyboard panels back in the right place .
I have to say... it is starting to run much more smoothly! it's great! He really knows what he's talking about. I only used crappy stick figures and it read clearly and efficiently. I brought a persion to watch both versions and they also agreed it was an improvement. But, just in case you guys didn't approve and don't want it at all, I didn't save over the original file.
I thought it'd be easier to see what would happen if we took all the great criticism on the reel and actually put them on. I took into account other people's advice (that i could remember). I feel that we will have a lot of fun with it because i know i was when we had something to work with.
Mindgasm, really.
Have a fantastical weekend, everyone.
(((edit: Thanks to the innovative and talented Nick, he has come to edit our leica and have made it much better. I can only say i was there to supervise, help, and cheer him on. Once we have these great boards, producing the final boards will be much faster so that we won't have tothink too much about figuring out how to make them.)))

Inspiration!
Hey all! I found this AWESOME video that really REALLY resembles our film!
This IS our film! Only in an office building! With more characters and Johnny and Suzy have grown up and multiplied! XD

Script
Hello,
Here are the script notes taken during the meeting. They are a little jumbled and might seem incoherent at times, but they do have the overall ideas we talked about.
Script
Opening scene, Jonny hits the wall breathing heavily, sees the remaining members of his team defeated. Before he leaves his hiding spot, he gets disturbed by his sister. Annoyed, he turns her around and pushes her in the opposite direction. Show flag within first 10 seconds, have Jonny look at the flag to establish his goal. Showing where he was also shows the rest of the blue team.
Jonny looks out onto the street. The way to the flag seems clear. Jonny steps out only to be ambushed by various members of the red team. They seem to appear out of nowhere and go in for the kill. Jonny rushes for a hiding spot as he shoots down his opponents.
Jonny ducks behind the car, as he lands he picks up a water balloon handed to him and throws it. The balloon explodes similarly to an atomic bomb, taking out most of his attackers. He then suddenly realizes that the little sister is also hiding behind the car and has handed him the balloon. Someone on the red team then taunts Jonny, asking him why he needs his sister to help him. Getting angry, he sends her off before attempting to leave the car. The cowboy then comes around the corner to finish off Jonny. Jonny aims his gun and fires, but his gun is empty. The cowboy chuckles and aims his guns at Jonny, only to be hit by the empty water gun. Jonny grabs the cowboy’s discarded guns and walks off.
He makes his way to someone’s front yard. As he steps on the lawn he sees a water balloon fly at him from the sky, followed a huge number of other balloons. He dodges the attack and makes his way further onto the lawn. Sprinklers then start up, like mine fields exploding. Jonny looks onwards to see the triplets Ed Ted and Stuart along with the mad scientist kid, controlling the switches for the sprinklers. A water balloon will then land behind him, forcing Jonny to make his way through the mine field. As Jonny makes his way towards the triplets, they prepare they’re volley of balloons, but Stuart ends up taking himself out along with Ted. Ed then throws his balloon at Jonny who catches it in mid air. Jonny then lands on Ed’s chest, using him as a bridge to get across the final wall of water, and uses that momentum to shove the water balloon in the mad scientist’s face.
Jonny makes his way to the street to get to the park. Before he can cross, his sister pulls him behind a mailbox, saving him from a water gun shot. A sniper reveals himself as he prepares to fire again. Jonny becomes agitated that his sister had to rescue him and slaps her gun away from her. Fuming, he walks off towards the park, leaving his sister in tears and frustrated. (Shadow appears behind sister)
He crosses the street where he realizes that there is a fence blocking him from the flag. He then hears the sound of tires screeching and a gang of kids appear in a shopping cart. They attempt to fire at him and miss. At this point, the sniper has gotten his shot ready and shoots at Jonny. The shot gets intercepted by the kids in the cart, who then crash into the fence and the sniper tower, taking out the sniper and themselves in the process.
Jonny makes his way to the playground. It looks like a fortress looming over him. We see the final boss, standing on top of the fortress. There is a 2 tier fight between the boss and Jonny. The boss runs out of water and plugs himself into a fountain. Using this unlimited source of water, the boss continues to attack Jonny.
Nick’s ending. Enough said.
Sponge after credits.

A little inspiration y'all
I've probably shown this to about half of you guys today but I figured it would be good to throw up here as well. These are segments from a Korean animated film called Aachi and Ssipak. The way they go about doing the fight scenes in this movie is phenomenal and I think they're some good examples of how we can push the action in our own film.
