Script
Here is the script, for now, since we changed it up a little in the story board I'm taking this in for a makeover, again. 6th draft! Oy gevalt!
FADE IN
INT. GARAGE NIGHT
The garage is dark, the only thing visible is a star field glowing dimly. The camera pans across the star filed stopping at small vignette of planets rocket ships and shooting stars, the chain of a light hangs in front of us. The star filed is, in fact, made up of plastic glow in the dark stars. WILLY"S hand comes in from O/S and pulls on light chain, flooding the Garage in light. WILLY turns to his desk and looks down at the open magazine on it. The magazine is open to an article with headline reading "CHANCE OF A LIFETIME!" in a large font, the rest of the page is filled with images of nebulae. WILLY studies it for a while picks it up, turns towards the camera and exits O/S.
EXT. PORCH NIGHT
WILLY is standing proudly on the porch admiring the night sky. He bends down and picks-up his telescope and tripod. Willy walks off the porch O/S.
EXT. BACKYARD NIGHT
Three tripod legs come down from O/S and slam on to three worn spots on the grass. WILLY begins to fiddle with the knobs on the telescope. WILLY swings the telescope towards the sky. The lens passes in front of the camera. WILLY lowers his eye to the eyepiece of the telescope.
EXT. SKY NIGHT
Camera pans from Saturn from an out of focus nebulae. The nebulae comes into sharper focus. Just then light fills the F.O.V until it is completely washed out.
EXT. BACKYARD NIGHT
WILLY abruptly pulls his head away with a confused look on his face. The neighbours House is all lit up with a bright porch light and patio lanterns. WILLY turns around to look to his neighbours.
EXT WILLY'S NEIGHBOURHOOD NIGHT
The neighbourhood is dark with only WILLY'S immediate neighbours house lit. The houses begin to light up, brightening the intire area.
EXT. BACKYARD NIGHT
WILLY turns from looking at the neighbours back to the camera with a shocked expression on his face. WILLY face becomes one of fury, clenching his fists and grinding his teeth. Grabbing his telescope and hoisting it over his head, WILLY storms O/S.
EXT. PARK NIGHT
The tripod legs slam down once again. The camera slowly pans up to the telescope's controls. WILLY'S hands come in from O/S and begin fiddling with the controls more quickly than before. WILLY swings the telescope in front of the camera and toward the sky. WILLY begins to lower his head toward the eyepiece. A sudden noise in the background caches WILLY'S attention. He looks up with a confused look on his face. WILLY begins to whip his head around frantically looking for the source of the noise. WILLY turns around, facing the dark background. Suddenly, a set of bright stadium lights pop on. WILLY is totally startled. Throwing his hand in the air in shock, WILLY looses balance and falls backwards O/S taking his telescope with him..
EXT. STREET NIGHT
WILLY'S telescope falls from O/S and lands on the back of his scooter. WILLY follow and lands on his scooter like a cowboy. The impact of the landing start the motor and WILLY peels out. Driving past the camera and WILLY zips over hills and drive up the mountain in the distance.
EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP NIGHT
The light from WILLY'S scooter is seen coming around the corner. The scooter rounds the curve quickly, skidding to a stop in front of the camera. Jumping off the seat, WILLY lands in front of his scooter and camera. Parts of the tripod come flying from O/S and streak across the night sky, the camera follows. The first leg lands and sticks in the ground, the remaining pieces soon follow snapping together automatically. The telescope flays on screen landing in its place on the telescope. the momentum of this causing the telescope to spin on the tripod. With a fiendish grin on his face, WILLY grabs the spinning telescope and lowers the eye piece into place. He leans forward and look through the eyepiece.
EXT. NIGHT SKY
The camera pans across a star field, stopping and zooming in on an unusually bright star. The star circles around, and then flies O/S. Suddenly a cluster of stars whizz past the camera. The star filed is flooded by light. A firefly flies toward the camera, it's face filling the F.O.V. It grins evilly.
EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP NIGHT
Fireflies are buzzing all around WILLY. He looks around shocked.
WILLY begins uncontrollable giggling. The giggles quickly increase to chuckle, then becomes a full blown manically insane laughter. Walking over to his scooter he opens the saddlebag and start digging though it flinging the other junk over his shoulder. WILLY pulls a can of bug spray out and holds it up, he shakes his head dismissively and tosses it over his shoulder. Digging through the saddle bag again he finds something. Holding up an another can of bug killer, he thows it away and shakes his head again. Reaching deep into the saddle bag and pulls out a giant can of bug spay. He holds it a loft triumphantly and begins pumping the spray can frantically spraying a generous amount of the poison all around the mountain top. The spray obscures the view for several seconds. Once the spray has dissipate WILLY stands panting to catch his breath. He walks back to his telescope triumphantly and prepairs to resume his observations. Just as he lowers his head, he pauses quirking a brow as if something is not quite right. The mountain top seems to be growing lighter and lighter. WILLY turns to look behind him. WILLY stands shocked and stiff as if turned to stone. The sun is slowly rising. The camera pans around to reveal WILLY'S face. He stares, in total disbelief at the sunrise, a look of total shock on his face.
Tossing his head back and throws his hands to the sky.

INT. GARAGE DAY
WILLY sits at his desk staring at the astronomy magazine on his desk. He is looking the page proclaiming "Once in a lifetime chance!" Staring at it, WILLY'S face becomes a tormented look of agony. He lets his head fall, forehead striking the magazine. A firefly lands on the page in front of Will's face, it blinks it's light sporadically. Snarling, WILLY stands slams the magazine shut. Thinking that he killed the bug, Will smirks. He turns and begins to walk off pausing to turn of the light. WILLY walks O/S, we hear a door close, leaving the room pitch dark save for the dimly glowing plastic stars on the wall. The magazine begins to stir.The firefly emerges from between the pages and slowly blinks on his light. He flies slowly to the ceiling and begins to fly in lazy figure eights.

Neon
This is the neon effect I was telling you about, the timing got screwed up when I saved it out a a gif. Why I saved it out as a gif I don't know. Blame it on the fever hallucinations! This is not the real title, just a demo to show the effect. The real on will be two tone with a much more realistic font.

Project Schedule for this Semester
Hate to sound like a broken record here but this is going to be tough! We can do it thought! Remember to ask for help if you need it. There is no weakness in differing to a more experienced person for help.
As you can see, Roman's schedule is animation heavy, that's because your the lead animator this semester! Congratulations! Anything I pose out or key you can fiddle with. I should help keep this looking nice and homogeneous.
Ian's got the the weight of the modeling and mat painting. Think of what that will look like on your resume! Feel free to farm out some stuff to others, like Justin (just let me know so I can credit them).
As you see, I gave myself 2 weeks to do the facial rig. I'm not certain if that is enough though. I have never built a facial rig so this is going to be tricky. Hopefully Francisco and
