Animation Project: Story (Treatment Progress)

Story Progress:

The full story has been long overdue to be complete, 
I have been avoiding it due to bad decisions, and things I have still have portions to make and fill in which I aim to do this weekend, 

I need to get my shit together.


Current Progress:

 ‘How we Met’

 
Ezaru swops in and flops down in the doorway sobbing. Inside Ezaru’s mother, Martha, hears a sound coming from outside and opens the door. She sees her daughter in clear distress and nuzzles into her to comfort her. Ezaru’s tears flow freely as she tells her mother of her fight with Ace, her best friend. She Borrowed his father’s knife, after using it she had forgotten where she had put it, thinking that she must have put it back where Ace keeps it.

When Ace returns to their nest,

 when she came back ace was frantically searching for his Book, found out she took it and blew up. She then fled back home.

 
Martha comforts her, ensuring that one fight will not break a good friendship,
Martha mutters (Despite your choice of a human friend) as she ushers her daughter inside and out of the cold. Martha leads Ezaru into the living room sitting her down on a low resting couch.

 

Martha sits down next to her, folding a wing over her daughter. Martha consoles her daughter saying she had her own share of fights with Nova when they were traveling.
Ezaru chuckles, mentioning when they had squabbled over the last vanilla pudding, she always loves hearing about her mothers own adventures.
Martha, askes if she told of how she and Nova met,
Ezaru’s ears perk as she replies that she hadn’t now begging her to tell the story.
Martha looks at Ezaru and smirks, she will on one condition, that she would, the next day, fix things with Ace. Ezaru sighs before agreeing


FB1:

Martha begins narrating her tale. 
Martha is searching for four leaf clovers on a grassy hill, a sound from behind alerts her to an approaching presence, she turns to find another dragon. Curious, Martha askes who the mysterious dragon is. The dragon introduces himself as Nova, trotting over to the tree centered on the peak of the hill. He jumps up against the trunk shoving his head into the hollow, much to Martha’s confusion and continues the conversation. Nova brings up he hadn’t seen her around here, being one of his usual hang outs with his friends,
Martha brings up she is looking for clovers, she hadn’t had much luck in other clover patches, so she was searching in new locations. Nova pulls out a small wooden box out of the trunk with a “ah-hah” Before either can speak a distant shout is heard.
Nova curses and fly’s off with a quick good-bye thrown into his departure.


(Back to Present to break up the conversation)

Conversation

Did you ever find out what was in that box?




FB2:

Martha continues the story, she had returned the next day to continue her search. Nova sneaks up behind her as she unknowingly brushes through the clover patch, Nova grins and Pounces upon her. Martha screeches pushing a laughing Nova off her. She askes why he is back at the hill, Nova responds that he forgot something in the hollow, besides it was a usual hang out for him and he should be the one asking why she was back.


Ezaru interrupt her mother’s Narration,

“Oh he defiantly came back to see you” – Ezaru

“Defiantly, though he still wont admit it” - Martha

Both dragons burst out giggling, Martha says she didn’t blame him, his family often kept him cooped up in the city and monitored who he spent time with, making sure he didn’t assosiate with young dragon that would be  ‘a bad influence’.

so spending time with a new friend on his own terms was refreshing.

And a rare opportunity



Voice over visuals:
Nova doing a funny impression of his father, mocking his strict Nature.

 

 

FB 3

Martha and Nova meet up (Nova has something for Martha
The attack starts

They go to see what happens, and encounter a human

They struggle
Just escape, Dragons panicking (getting captured killed and fleeing)

Nova says they will be safer in the city, Martha stop him saying she needs to get her family, they are still at the house.
Nova nods and they go to the house.
They get there through the panic to find Martha’s home in shambles, no dragon in site,
Martha rushes inside desperate to find her family, calling out for her mother and father.
Her disturbance triggered a hidden trap, Marthe gets snagged in a Net and setting of a small signal emitter

The Two Startle as they hear a harsh, “Nova”, Novas father had found them
Turns out his father went looking for him when the attack started, he had a gut feeling Nova would have tried to find his friend.
Dragon hunters are at the door, marching in on the three dragons, NovaDad, Shouts they they need to go now,
They bust outside to find more hunters,
NovaDad - They can’t get back to the city,, there only hope is to flee to another dimension
Martha argues as NovaDad fights, He shuts her down and ushers the kids to follow him Freeing a path to take of
They take off, NovaDad breaches a path to travel dimensions But is cut off by a net
He sees that they wont escape with the hunters on the tail
He shouts at Nova and Matha that they must jump to a dimension on their own.
The kids are in tears nova askes what about him
Nova dad looks at his son with love, and says he will follow after
