Today I have recording the script in the college studio, to then implant into the storyboard to finish off the animatic sequence. With the help of my friend and classmate Tom Gill he showed me how to setup the Marantz, a device used to capture quality voice recordings

After separating the storyboard images up in photoshop I now had what I needed in order to create an animatic in flash, it's similar to creating storyboards, except this is the point where you can put the images on  a timeline to give yourself a sense of timing and pacing. Sound can also be used to get a gist of the atmosphere and tone trying to be conveyed.

Although I hadn't re-recorded my sound clips yet I was able to use the clips I was going to use from YouTube as a guide on the timing of the shots. I believe what I have now will be very close to the finished animatic.

A BEARS' REBELLION 

**:Script:**

-The camera pans up the foot of a bed to reveal a toddler sleeping in bed next to his teddy bear.

-Next the camera then has a close shot of the two momentarily. It then zooms in to a blank motionless bear.

-The bear then burst to life in a furious rage and punches the kid in the face!

" Get away from me! you smell like cream crackers and poop!"

-We now get a full body shot of the bear as he shakes his fist and goes off on a random rant.

" The Easter bunny isn't real!, neither is the tooth fairy, or true love or Hanna Montanna!"

-Our camera now snaps to a behind over the shoulder view of the bear pointing at the kid and continues his rant. Next the camera focus' on the paintings on the wall

"look! your finger paintings are awful! I'm sorry! but your 5 and you can't be expected to be a good artist yet! oh wait... there is that so called modern art!"

-The bear then hangs over behind the kid as he continues the rant, the camera zooms in on the kids mouth portraying a horrified expression as the bear comes out of focus.

"And Hey, If you don't want to wear your seat belt that's fine but I can't guarantee anything, uncle
Jerome might hit a wall going 95, you never know it might happen? want to rethink about that seat belt?"

-The bear grasps the kids face as the camera zooms in on the two, the next scene has the kid in the background at a distance as the bear turns away to face the camera.

"lets get something straight! your birthday is 1 day! not 2 or 3 or a weekend! "ONE" day! For you the day I graced your home was the most important day of your life... but for me... it was Tuesday!!!"

-Lastly we have one last close up as the bear opens his eyes slowly in disgust. It the shows the bear peering over the bed to give his last words just before he falls flat on the floor on his back, staring in relief at the camera.

"oh! and 1 last thing! when you grow up! don't marry your colleage slash uni romance! trust me! if there's anyhting you take away from this rant,  it's that! and if you do, you better find a person you can cheat with who can keep a secret and won't get to clingly... 

*whispers*

If your out there... call me!"

Here are the sources which I will be taking my sound clips from, some of the material used is considered adult material, therefore I will be changing some words, phrases and subject matter not only to make it age appropriate but because these group of actors are American some content will be changed so that the dialogue is more reflective of the UK as well.

The gentlemen's rants are a series of videos created by JLE (http://www.jleproductions.com) a production company that specialises in commercials, advertsing and independant film making situated in Los Angele's. These video's portray a group of your typical american males complaining on the everyday on goings within society but try to give a humorous angle to it.

I selected these videos to take excerpts from because of the content and style of the videos, they have very minimalist approach to them as there are no props for the actor to interact with in most cases, and no background as so not to draw your attention away from what's being said. This method is something I'd like to incorporate within my own work, especially given the fact that this module is based primarily on lip synching and I wouldn't want anything to be drawn away from that.
