The Last Day
It was a tiring day at home, and my brain was exhausted thinking of stories that would fit three frames! On top of that, it was sensei's last class for the module, so the sentiment was hightened by the fact that we had to do the three stories, and I had brought only two.
No matter, I thought, as I plugged in the pen drive and opened my stories from Powerpoint. I opened the two stories and started explaining them as confidently as possible.
INTERTWINED FATE: A story about the intertwined fate of a gold prospector and a garbage man who wants to become rich. What would happen if the prospector's gold biscuit falls into the hands of the needy garbage collector? Will he satisfy his need for a better life? Or are their destinies intertwined into a gripping twist?
Sigh, I know the story looks "too much", but the time frame was too much too, it seemed, as the story wasn't able to fit within thirty seconds. And so, I moved on with the next one.
A SLICE OF MARS: A story about two scientists who wanted to beat each other into creating a formula that allowed people to visit Mars. The classic Spongebob comedy where one beats the other and the beaten one decides to hire an assasin to do his dirty job.
Well, this was good too, but sensei somehow liked my story that I pitched on the third day better, and hence, he said the sentence I wanted to hear from Day 1:
"I approve your story about the hair girl."
Yay! I was doing breakdance in my brain, as every other person's concepts were read and slowly approved. From then on, I had only one goal: to prepare that story as effectively as possible, using the medium of my choice: stop-motion variation. And that was my goal for the rest of the days, as sensei had given us a deadline: 14th of March and our finalized pitches needed to be on the email.
Alright! The real work begins now!
