Week #11 Final project “Hear Me Out”- Character Sheet by Musen

INTRO:

J’ai tenu à réaliser un petit montage à partir de l’inoubliable et bouleversant Love story qui ne manque jamais de me faire déborder le coeur… juste sublime. L’amour, c’est n’avoir jamais à dire qu’on est désolé.

I wanted to do a little animation about a unforgettable and deeply love story that never fails to make me broke the heart …just sublime. Love means never having to say you’re sorry.

STORYBOARD:

Recently, I just suffered by love hurts. This animation is about my story. From my opinion, love is sweet, but sometime, you should suffer hurts and other things that you never expected. Hence, in the beginning the animation is treacly and  sweet. With the seasons are changing(autumn to winter), the emotion becomes more sadness and sorrowful. After winter, the story back to sweet in next spring(I do hope so…). Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down. so when negativity surrounds. I know some day it’ll all turn around.

What’s more, I want to compose a new song as my animation background music. Hence, I ask my friend to compose a song for me. We discussed the song last weekend. This is the sample of the song. I love this song! Happy and sort of sad.

I analyse this song quickly…

electronic organ – high hat – drum beat – piano – the change of the key on the piano – stringed instrument music – piano solo – end

METAPHOR IN ANIMATION:

The three paths means the three different results of our relationship.
