I thought I would finish animation
today but I didn't. Oh well. It was for a good reason. I've realized
the final scene in my short was really lame and I didn't like it (it
was very anticlimactic) so I brainstormed and brainstormed as to how
I could change the last scene using design elements I had already
created. It's pretty tricky when you have to confine your creativity
to a few flash puppets and like 4 backgrounds. But I discussed with
friends and also bothered Lea for about an hour and thus came up with
a few ideas. Whoops.
I was wondering if I should set the bug
on fire or make him explode but then I went absolutely crazy and
figured I should turn Donna, the light bulb into Pacman and have Sam,
the Firefly into a little gobbley bit and have the film end with
Pacman Donna eating Sam. It's ok though I regained my sanity and
chose a different ending. The end to my short will have Sam trying to
get to Donna, but then you hear a streetlight flicker on outside and
a little “yoo hoo” and Sam will screech to a halt and the camera
will cut to outside where a gorgeous streetlight is beckoning him.
FIN. This may not be the funniest ending possible but it's much
better than the lame pinging against the glass bulb and it works with
the design elements I have.
Hopefully it turns out. Have a good
weekend!
