Walking cycle.

Here is the walking cycle for one of the characters, the drawing model. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but I think this is how you do it. It's good that I did this since it's gonna help me a lot in creating movement for this character.

Script (first draft).

This is the first draft of the script I wrote. It's not the best, but this is what I've come up so far. I might make a few small changes to further improve the story. I did this in Microsoft Word. I'm not sure if the text is big enough to read, though. So, here it is:

                        

So there it is. It doesn't make much sense to me for some reason, though. I kind of rushed it. Hmm. I need more creative ideas on this.

Story summary (draft).

  An artist is struggling to think of an idea for a sketch.  On her desk are some pens, pencils, papers, erasers, a ball of clay and a figure drawing model (which resembles a miniature mannequin). She grabs a nearby ball of clay in his desk and starts playing around with it in her hands, deep in thought. She places it down with a sigh.  The phone rings, she gets up to leave the room to answer the phone.

       Silence fills the room. Suddenly, the figure drawing model comes ‘alive’ and starts moving. It looks around for a companion, but every other object in the room remains stationary. It spots the artist’s blank piece of paper and pencil lying on the table. It walks over, picks the pencil up and starts to draw. It draws a stick figure then claps its hands three times, as the stick figure magically comes alive. The drawing model does a quick happy dance, when suddenly a tiny scrunched-up ball of paper hits its face. It appears surprised.

        It turns around to see that the stick figure had thrown the paper ball at it. The mannequin is up for the challenge. It walks over to the clay, takes a bit and rolls into a ball with its tiny fists. It throws it at the stick figure, landing right on its head. It falls over and plots revenge. The two continue attempting to take down each other, in the most bizarre and funny ways, until the artist’s footsteps are heard returning to the room.

         The mannequin hastily takes the eraser and erases the stick figure, returning everything, as if not a single thing had been out of place.  The artist suddenly knocks over a tub of pens and bends over to pick them up. As she is doing this, the mannequin raises its fists in victory when suddenly, a ball of clay flies out of nowhere, hitting it on the face. It looks around to see that the clay, too, has come alive and is planning to attack the mannequin.

Yeah, that's it so far. It doesn't make much sense, but I'll try to keep editing it. I'll also be posting the character mind maps soon-ish. :)
