We consider the acting of the characters: what are they saying and how are they saying it? What do those characters look like (if it is early on)? Where are they in the scene? Where is the camera shooting from? How many shots do you need to get the story points across? What is the lighting? Then adding in any ideas to make it better or funnier. So, maybe that clears up the confusion.

When I was working on assignment, it was really hard to pick just one story, I mean we all have so many beautiful stories as our favorites. One of the major reasons I want to be part of Animation Industry because I want to tell meaningful stories through incredible worlds and memorable characters. I came up with more questions when I was thinking about the assignment. I like to believe that stories and the way they make us feel is somehow extension of how we see the life or how we want to see the life even if its imaginary. It’s all about the experience, we want to feel certain way or stories make us feel certain way.
