George"s girlfriend


INTERFACE WORKS!!!!

Hey guys,

got a working flash interface working. so far it works with separate FLV video files, so the actual flash interface its self won't be too large of a load.

check out the prototype:
here

it only works if you select C1 for the listener and C2 for the narrator. since we don't have any videos yet, I went ahead and substituted our work with the trailer for the new miyazaki movie. because I love miyazaki.

Script and storyboard

Here's the first draft of the script. I stuck to the breakdowns that we developed earlier with the exception of Otto. It didn't seem to make much sense to have each character find him putting the underpants in the different places, because then they wouldn't be surprised to find the underpants in weird places. The only only other confusion I had was the timeline of events. Do you guys think the chronogoly events needs clarification?

Each segment consists of 3 panels and one reaction from the listening character. I attached a .jpg below of a rough storyboard for the first combination. With the exception of Otto, each character's story remains the same but the Listener's reactions change. It was a little difficult to think of ways to visualize how the Listener characters would interpret the stories.

Anyway here is the script, let me know what you guys think could be improved or if you disagree with anything.
