some notes-Final Film

Today, I read a book named The Art of Monsters, INC. It was the second time I read this book. However, I got a lot of things new from this amazing book.
Pixar got a large number of concept art in their working.
concept art of the monster world;
concept art of Monstopolis;
concept of Monstropolis neighborhood streets;
concept of Harryhausen's sushi restaurant interior;
concept of Harryhausen's sushi restaurant exterior;
concept of Boo;
study of Sullivan and Mike
concept of background monsters;
etc.
A famous company like Disney, Pixar does a lot of work in their pre-production, I need do more work. Because I need long time and more references than them. I can't lose the concept art part of animation production, more concept ,better work.

Final Film-presentation

My idea started from here

¢http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flCpfrQojg8&feature=player_embedded

¢I thought maybe I can do an animation film about a girl's growing up

¢Then my idea is from :

¢A girl’s growing up → a dancing girl’s growing up → a famous dancing girl’s growing up(like Isadora Duncan → a deaf dancing girl’s dancing life

synopsis

¢ Beginning:
A baby comes to this world, she's cute, fat and smiling happily. However, her parents found that she can not hear anything.
When she grows up( about 6 years old), she play happily with other children on the beach.(Her house near the beach) Opening her arms, she feels the air on the sea was so nice. When looks at the movement of waves, she try to imagine the sound.( waves move, waves flap the stone.) She's dancing happily on the beach( Just some movement, some poses by herself). Her mother looks all the process through a window, then the girl was lead to a teacher who teach ballet. But due to the gril is deaf, teacher always refuse her.( teacher talk with her mother, the girl can understand something through their expression and action.) They visit several schools, finally a teacher accept her as a student

¢Middle:
The girl study very hard(ballet), she can do each pose very well, but the biggest problem is that she can not hear anything, so she can never follow the rhythm and never show her dancing to audiences as other students. Sometimes she feel so sad, but her mother gives her the most useful encouragement. So she still consist on dancing. Her favorite place is the beach, she goes to beach to practice her dancing everyday(can show her broken shoes). Following the sunrise and the sunset, her dancing became more and more beautiful. When she's tired, she sit on the sand, looked at the sunset, she take off her ballet shoes, use her feet and hands to felt the movement of waves, the sea move on her hands, then go back(show her feeling about the sea move), she lied down to the sand, put her ear on the sand, she can feel the move of waves(even she's deaf, she still can feel the beat). She imagine something. She feels an unbelievable free/loose, she dances without shoes happily, she dance with a modern dance rather than classical ballet. She can feel beats of the land without shoes, then she dancing followed the move of waves. She exhibit her dancing to the waves. Then, she's growing up.(14 years old.) A guy sees her beautiful dancing, and applauds, then he/she talks with her mother(show the scene of they chatting).

¢End:

The girl dancing (with other dancers or alone) on the stage, followed the music correctly, on the other side of the stage, a lady(her mother) change the action of her hands followed the music
