From Muybridge to Avatar: List of animators draft

Here is a list of animators. Obviously, I need to add more of them. I think, this timeline is the most interesting part in this project. I was surprised when I found out that we have Estonian famous animator:) Anyway, here is my list.

Animatic & Storyboard

I've changed a concept, - the tuba character will dance. It's a good chance to disprove the idea: Born to creep, can not fly. :P I know this is stupid, but I don't care.

Story

Ebullient Tuba

1 ACT

Orchestra/ensemble performs melancholic composition. There is a Tuba among the different instruments, “who” is dissatisfied with the music. It discords with her mood.

2 ACT

She starts dreaming. In her dream she is performing exciting music on the stage. It is so exciting for her, that she forgets about the orchestra/ensemble.

3 ACT

After dreaming she realizes that all her performance was for real. Tuba finds herself in a confusing situation. All instruments are starring at her in perplexity.

THE END

This is my three act story. It is short, but there will be a lot of action, especially in act 2. I figure on composing a small composition for my second act. This will give me more freedom in the animation.
