kitchen designs


umm, concept kitchen design. any suggestions on colour, layout, etc?
in terms of colour, maybe we need to discuss the colour of the char and obviously
that'll affect the outlook of the bg colouring.

1'st Attempt: Beat Script for our Story

Hey guys. While we are working out the Beat script, I thought it would be a good idea for all of us to try and come up with possible gags to add some texture and fun. If you come up with anything bring it in on Thursday. Even quick doodles can do the job...

Monday, June 11, 2007

these are a few notes i took during the Pete meeting!

so where to begin, i guess from the start!haha

the short should start off as a runing gag, repetition of the boy getting ready but not achieving it properly in time for the girl living a few floors down.
after the misadventures, the boy finally gets his act together (by overviewing his master plan that he has pined up on his wall or something, he studies it very attentionly, where he concludes to get up earlier, perhaps at 7 am like that its the same number as the floor where the girl lives, the lucky number, he wakes up earlier, brushes his teeth, colms his hair, he is finally ready, heads out impatiently, sees flowers on the counter, snags them to offer)
he is in the elevator ready , gets to the 7th floor, and an older snobby lady comes in instead, no girl!
the boy is disappointed, he also gets intimidated by the older woman, who is looking down on him.elevator doors close on us. perfect way to cut it
he gets to the ground level(suggestion:he is revealed by pounding flowers against his head while the elevator doors are openning)
when he gets out of the elevator, he sees the girl waiting for him.
she waves timidly to him, he smiles ackwardly back at her (suggestion: he gives the flowers with very few petales left on them)
they walk off to the distance (front door of building, nice shiny light of the day), and the elevator doors close on the audience to have end credits.

this sort of wraps up what i took in notes from the meeting, usually this would complete Nazs script.

Something Different

pitch by jack yu (storyline)

Thesis: strong friendships are hard to come by, especially in many different forms.

A lonely monster never had a friend before, spent all his birthdays alone. On his 20th birthday, he decides to share his birthday cake with a friend. He sets out walking one direction (left) in hopes to find a friend before dawn to share his birthday cake.

Event1: (morning)

On his journey, he met a funny contrasting couple, big girl, small guy. She always beat up on him, but he never says anything and he adores her even more.

Event2: (noon)

Then the monster sees little ant family walking together on vacation. The dad carries the son on his shoulder while the mother holds the daughter’s hands. They’re singing family trip song. The monster finds that very sweat as well.

Event3: (afternoon)

Then a soccer ball hits the monster. He looks up and sees a bunch of monster’s playing soccer. He takes the ball and walks towards the monsters wanting to play soccer with them. But they ignore him, as the monster walks away dejected.

Event4: (evening)

Monster sees a group of people singing happy birthday. He walks toward them joyfully, wanting to share his birthday cake with them. But he can’t seem to get anyone’s attention, and then a stranger accidentally knocks over his birthday cake. Surprised and shocked, the monster could only gather the remaining pieces of cake.

Walking away slowly, the sun sets. In hopes of finding a friend seems impossible now; the monster reaches the end of the road on a cliff. As he sits down, he sings happy birthday to himself while holding that dismantled piece of cake. Just as he was about to sing “happy birthday to me” a girl’s voice cuts him off and sings, “happy birthday to you.” Monster looks up, and sees another monster on a cliff across from him, also holding a birthday cake. The girl monster smiles at him.

Fast forward, 1 year later. The monster is baking cake. “I’m waiting!” the girl monster shouts in a happy tone. He rushes the cake out of the oven and runs toward the window and clips the finished birthday cake on a wire. As the monster was wiring the cake over, he started to sing, “happy birthday to….you.” The girl monster smiles back. The cliff separates the two monsters, but they live next to each other.
