Project 1 - Story Development 

Idea Source

Initially, the story I planned to develop was a fantasy based story with a slight thrill content to make the story more interesting. This story was inspired by IT 2017, a horror movie.

Story: 

A group of 6 intended to explore the haunted house that was warned by their mothers and the entire village not to go beyond where the light touches, where the haunted house was located at, They went in the house and spotted a door with locks and a small warning note on the side stating, time limit: 3 minutes. Out of curiosity, they managed to open up the door and the main character got sucked into the door, which scared the others and they chickened out and waited for his return.  

Feedback: Reduce the number of side characters and shorten the story, it sounds very lengthy. 

After multiple times of thinking, I felt that this story is too lengthy and it's hard to shorten it, so I have decided to change the story. 

New story 

This new story is insipired by my friend who experienced bully when he was young. He was bullied for playing bad at football, he did not give up and made himself stronger than before. Now, he is far more better than the bullies(his friends) and a captain for his university team. I found this story interesting and inspiring, so I decided to transform his story into a 2D animation.
