Test 1 video- Little Red Riding Hood

Right here I have uploaded a test video of how my animation will look like when its finish. By doing this it helped me to do the timing accurately, music, sound effects, background and movement.

Location

Here are some images I took personally in Epping Forest on Feb 2010 for research to found a perfect location for my animation.

Wolf character

In this part I have done a lot of research on wolfs because I needed to get the right look and the right characteristics of the wolf so I can use it for my character.

reference

Below is a list of Little Red Riding Hood animation/ cartoon video posted on YouTube. I used these videos as reference to help me decide how my animation should look like for example what type of music I should use, type of drawing I should do and learn how the movement of the character work.

Storyboard: Little Red Riding Hood

EXT: Forest- day

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD exits from a house. She is wearing a bright red hooded cloak and currying a basket full of food.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

Good buy mother, I'll see you soon.

Door closes.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD walks into a dark path way leading into the forest.

A WOLF is sleeping under a broken tree. He hears a nose forces him to wake up. He looks confused. Stars to investigate. He gets up and follows the direction of the nose.

Meanwhile LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD is walking unaware she has alerted attention. She's happy, skipping, enjoying the sound of birds.

The WOLF is running faster and faster scraping pass bushes. Breathing heavily, he's eyes darkens, determined to found what ever woke him up. The WOLF jumps onto a rock. He slowly looks around examining his environment and heads off.

EXT: FOREST- DAY

Finally, the WOLF arrives at his destination. He spots a young middle aged man, chopping down a tree. The Wolf's eyes tightens with anger.

THE WOLF

What the hell do you think you are doing?

The WOODSMAN turns around. looking confused and surprised.

woodsman

Nothing,who..who are you? what are you?

WOLF

I see you cutting down some trees uh. Don't you have any respect for the environment? don't you care about global warming? you are destroying my forest.

WOODSMAN

Look here I only needed some wood to create a fire. There's nothing wrong with that, is there.

The WOODSMAN and the WOLF exchange eye contact.

EXT: FOREST- DAY

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD walks between the agreement.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

Hi dad my send me to deliver some food for grandma, she has not been feeling well you see.

WOLF

The WOLF quickly grabs LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD and holds her hostage.

WOLF

You batter stop cutting trees or else I will eat your daughter.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

Dad HELP..HELP..me.

WOODSMAN

OK..OK.. I promise I will stop cutting trees down, pleas just let her go.

Luckily LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD quickly escapes from the Wolf's captivate.

WOLF

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

Help dad help.

The WOODSMAN opens his arms widely and embraces her.

WOODSMAN

There..there, everything its alright know.

The WOLF begins to circle around them. Carefully constructing his thoughts and than suddenly the WOLF jumps. Eating both the LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD and the WOODSMAN.

The END

Background music.

For the aniamtion I have been reseraching background music for more dramatic suspense.
for voice over I have found 2 people who are willing to help me for giving voice for my characters. The wolf, the woodsman and Little Red Riding Hood.
