Shot List

This is my first shot list. I plan on working one scene/shot at a time and as I make progress I will check off the complete shots by marking their status green instead of red, to help myself stay organized and clear. It will be very satisfying to soon see each row marked green!

    Short Story Ideas




    #2: The Real Thugs of Long Island
    The story of a young and rising soundcloud rapper.






    #4:
    Music video
    The first plant on earth.


    #5:
    Red pill/blue pill twist. Neo takes the blue pill...






































    -setting is wealthy suburban neighborhood home
    -teenage boys rapping/drinking/smoking cigs in basement; talking about their plans of helping their one friend become a famous rapper
    -post song on soundcloud, gets a couple hundred views and friends get hype
    -friends convince rapper to get a tattoo
    -fast-forward to a year later, kid is covered in tats,


    Animation idea #1:

    -Superhero chases villain into space after epic fight that just destroyed the whole city; hero vows to the people that he will get him.

    -Some space action later.... Planet of the original people are now old people and watching the space action from the sky (the people are in the same spots as they were when the hero/villain left, destoryed city is now very futuristic city)

    -Hero finally returns, but he notices that all the original/old people are actually dead now and a new generation of babies has taken over the world. He thinks he went back in time



    Idea #3:
    -Global warming/apocalypse... humans are forced to leave their lives on land/earth and live in underwater subs/ships colony deep inside ocean, spaceships, etc.

    -Fish swimming through garbage/dirty water, swims past an ocean ship window
    -From little kid's perspective/narration on ocean boat looking out the window, talks about how boring his life is on boat, that he wants to go outside and explore/see nature
    -Birds flying over wasteland, buildings/factories/human structures litter the ground
    -From another sad kid's perspective, looking out spaceship window back at small earth in distance(earth's snowcaps are melted, the size of continents are much smaller, oceans bigger, satellites littered in the planet's orbit), saying his room is so small and wants to go run in the big open ranges on earth, smell the fresh air
    -old man alone on mountain of trash on earth, says something about his how his generation killed the planet, is last human to die
