Here will be the progresss of the movie titled: The Summoner’s Trumpet. If you wish to help post in Movie Help? under Off Topic Chat. Enjoy!:smiley:

Here is the script and camera motions:

Camera starts out moving across a field in a park. It makes its way towards the statue in the middle of the field. The statue is of Abraham Lincoln. The statue is surronded by a metal fence. The camera stops in the front of the fence (statue is facing the camera).
There is a boy sitting on the ground in front of the statue. Everyone (about 15 people) is staring at the boy whispering. The camers zooms in on the boy. It looks down onto his lap. In his lap are papers. On the papers are music.
He picks In The Hall of The Mountain King. The camera goes back into front view. He sets it aside and puts a briefcase on his lap.
He begins to play. (music plays) As he finishes a creature comes from the skay and lands on Lincolns head.
The camea looks through the eyes of the creature. (moving back and forth) Everyone runs.
Camera looks at boy and creature. All of a sudden, the creature attacks.
Title slowly appears.

I am glad you like it my and my team 1 other person did this. I only did the sketch he wants to do other concept art. :slight_smile:

Off to a good start.

I think with the eye you need an eyelid - probably two - similar to the concept art. Especially if you want to do any close ups of the dragon head, which you should by the way. With the eyelid coming down over the eye you can get some anger or other emotions showing through. I would have both upper and lower eyelids that would normally close by meeting at the centre of the eye.

You need a sketch - and model - of the whole character.

I would suggest first finishing that, getting it rigged and then run some animation tests with it.

You need to study writing screenplays. The above is not a script, but a description. Nothing wrong with that. But a screenplay is the universal reference for a crew. If you want help it is better to finish the entire script in screenplay format so it can be broken down and organized. It takes quite a bit of organization to get people helping.
