Topic: Hatred
Hey guys, I have been considering coming back to animation for awhile and well, it looks like I finally am. After slaving away for 48 hours on a film that I didn't complete in time for THAC, it really got me back into the animation mood. Which brings me to my next project, Hatred which is the working title, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep it yet.
I just completed the first draft, and it's 15 pages long. Yikes, right? I'm gonna take a chainsaw to it and try to cut it down to more around 10 or 11 pages. At any rate, I really don't want the video being over 10mins long, and I believe with its pacing, it may already be on track to be that length as is...nevertheless, I want to make sure it's as clean as possible.
Hatred is the story of a young woman, Fia, who is at the end of her rope. She is in her late teens and has been deemed a menace to society. Now, the 20-something-ith doctor she is seeing, is her last hope before the court condemns her to either a mental hospital or jail. This doctor, Sonya, has a secret up her sleeve. A simple, bare room that erases hatred by having the person inside enter their own mind. Fia is special, however. And that throws things for a loop.
I am surprised I was able to summarize my story. It's not fancy, but I used to be awful with that. Anywho my goals going into this project were:
-Have an all, or mostly, female cast.
-Not have that female cast talk about men, or boys, or anything stereotypical like that. Their dialog is plot-driven.
-Display animation that I have personally never achieved. My most complex stuff yet.
-Have a story with heart and meaning
-Stay under 10mins.
-Keep the audience engaged from the beginning to the end. Target audience was Youtube viewers in general, which have short attention spans, but I believe the way I kick it off should keep them watching. Otherwise, I am sure the community will enjoy it.
Anywho, there are two female leads, one supporting female and one supporting male.
I made this thread to post updates on the production. My goal is to be finished with it within a month or two. It's surprisingly not complicated set wise as it is animation wise. But I am going to be aggressive with the set, cinematography and animation.
Comments? Questions? Concerns? Encouragement? Praise? Love? Hatred? Tell me your thoughts!
Cheers!

Into the darkness once more. I walk into the unknown. To a far better life than I've ever known.
