Story Ideas

Concept is my favorite class. We were give 6 broad scenarios and we have to pitch two story ideas

First one is dog vs pigeon (two characters that want the same thing)

•1. Dog is tied up to parking meter outside a store by owner, dog is patted on head and owner heads into store•2. Dog smells something enchanting.•3. Dog runs towards hamburger on the ground but is snapped backwards from his leash.•4. Pigeon flies in and is about to start eating hamburger but the dog barks at him playfully
•5. Pigeon selfishly taunts the dog with the burger and the dog turns to leave•6. Pigeon laughs and is about to sink his beak into the burger when the dog comes bounding towards him and his leash breaks free•7. Frightened the pigeon braces himself for death but the dog bites the sandwich in half and nudges the other half to the pigeon and gives him a huge lick.

Second one is a little girl and a homeless crab at the beach:

•1. Little girl is perfecting her sand castle when she comes across a miniature boot
•2. She calls to her mom saying “Look what I found in my sandcastle” and holds up the mini boot•3. She turns back to the castle and sees a little crab in rags digging into the castle’s front door, the little girl screams in fright•4. The crabs jumps back and crawls to go hide behind the corner of the castle•5. The little girl sees the crabs fear and curiously reaches out to him and the crab reaches back•6. They touch and the little girl grimaces and then realizes the crab is trying to shake her finger and she lights up•7. The little girl finishes the perfect sand castle home for her new crab friend

We are going to pitch them to the class and then the class will help us pick on and we will create an animatic of the story. :)
