Module 4

Sorry this is so late, I've had a terrible time getting hold of the Adobe programs I needed to do this with!

Without further ado...

Module 4 - Part 1

I based my animatic very loosely on the old Jewish story of the golem.



Module 4 - Part 2

For part 2 of module 4 I made an animatic out of the opening scene of the first Star Wars film - A New Hope.



Module 4 - Part 3

It had been 3 days since Alberto had set sail into the 50 mile wide bay between Venice and Trieste, and he was starting to wonder if he would ever arrive. The lightest of pushes in the general direction of the other side from Giuseppe had sent the fragile vessel and its cargo of a weeks’ worth of carrots and the small donkey helplessly floating out to sea. For you see, Giuseppe had just learnt that he was to be sent to work as a crop picker for his rich uncle who owned a large plantation in Trieste.

Alberto was Giuseppe’s favourite animal from his parents small farm and he saw no harm in taking him along for the trip. Seeing as he wouldn’t be allowed on the train he thought the best way to transport him to his new home would be by boat. One windswept day in late October, just before Giuseppe’s departure, he had led Alberto down to a place by the ocean where he knew a rickety old rowing boat had been tied up for years. After flinging the generous helping of carrots into the dilapidated boat, Alberto quickly followed suit, hopping over the side of the boat, making it rock a little.

Giuseppe had then untied the rope and with one smooth motion pushed the boat out into the bay, leaving Alberto staring longingly back up towards his old paddock as he helplessly drifted towards wherever the current would take him. Three long days had passed as the boat cut a wayward pattern through the calm waters – occasionally the shore would come into view in the distance, although Alberto wasn’t sure if he would ever make it back there.

All of a sudden, a small sandy island with a few patchy areas of vegetation came into view, and without a second thought Alberto leant into the side of the wooden boat until he splashed into the water as he made a desperate bid for dry land.
