Cutting Down

Well, I done goofed. My animatic ended up being over ten minutes long... I'm going to have to cut some of it down. It's a shame, because I'm quite proud of everything that's on here, but it must be done. That's not to say the scenes I cut will be gone forever. I've got this idea in my head that this version of the pilot that I'm making will not necessarily be final version of it. I'll cut it down for the sake of... maintaining my sanity, and the greater likelihood that this will get finished in time for the deadline. I guess the scenes where Sillie and Millie are playing games and having a tea party can be cut completely, and possibly some scenes from the opening. Again, it's a shame, but it is the nature of television production. Again, it is easier to make this decision when I know that I'll still be finishing this pilot after I've submitted it.

Designing Millie's Bedroom

A character's bedroom exposes the most about their personality through mise-en-scene. When designing a bedroom, it is important to note that it must visually depict the character's personality, because it is that which has caused said character to bring the room in the state it is in. A lazy character, for instance, would most likely have a messy room. A character who cares about someone might have a photo of them in their room, possibly hidden in a drawer. A geek might have tonnes of posters or super hero bed sheets.You can tell a lot about a character through their rooms and I will keep this in mind as I design Millie's bedroom around her characteristics.
