I have been meeting a lot recently with some teachers discussing the story and boards to make sure my idea was working. I have been getting a lot of great feedback!
Recently, CCAD had a story workshop with some of our friends at Shadowbox Live. I got some really great tips and information from this. I spoke with Stev Guyer, executive producer at Shadowbox, after the workshop and asked if he would meet with me which he was more than glad to. We had that meeting today and here are some of the things he had to say:
-liked the simplistic idea of the theme, first impressions and quality of messages
-liked surprise at the end with huge landscape instead of just being about bird getting fruit
-liked the elephants personality and was able to easily understand him
-bird needs some more development/ better character description
-emphasizing the idea the bird can't fly more
-it's important why I chose a bird and why he can't fly
-emphasize the elephants cautiousness by having him narrowly avoid stepping on something
-have the elephant climb into the environment over wall to emphasize the enclosure
-use the body of the creatures and facial expressions to really push emotions
-really use the eyes to emphasize points too
-take time at beginning to really establish birds desire for fruit
-very important to animate real meaning in the faces
