Animatic Script/Drawings

Scene 1

Wide shot of Chef Lob, our main antagonist. He is looking down at table and is preparing for his afternoon meal. We here sounds of the ocean in the background and a couple fish swim by, consciously keeping a wide berth from Chef Lob.

Scene 2

Close up on Chef Lob. We see our semi-protagonist, Shrimpy Jr., looking very fearful for his life and he is slowly edging closer to the end of the table. Chef Lob pinches his claws open and closed and smirks viciously at Shrimpy Jr. 

Scene 3

Suddenly - and most unexpectedly - a fish net swoops down and catches Chef Lob. Shrimpy Jr. Squeezes his eyes shut, curling in on himself, and just barely manages to evade becoming entrapped in the ominous ropes. Another scene will depict Shrimpy Jr. opening his eyes and watching as Chef Lob gets dragged further and further towards the ocean's surface. [Fade Out]

Scene 4

[Fade In] We bare witness to a new character, Chef Hum-hum. The new cook holds our antagonist, Chef Lob, and marvels at his catch of the day. Chef Lob is still confused as to what's just happened to  him.

Scene 5

Chef Hum-hum immediately begins the preparation for his dinner, setting up a pot of boiling water to poach Chef Lob in. At this point, Chef Lob clearly starts to panic and attempts to get away, but his efforts are futile. 

Scene 6

So excited is Chef Hum-hum, that he skips around his kitchen while he waits for the unfortunate lobster to finish cooking. [A time card may appear across the screen in order to detail how long the chef has been waiting]

Scene 7

Bon Appetit! Chef Lob has been Served! As the trey's lid is lifted, we see a plum of smoke rise and from the words 'The End.'

The Finished Product

Environment

This is a tree house design for my characters. I figured that my characters could move back and forth in the foreground of the image, and up and down on the bed. I was going for a woody and minimalist style hideout that would be perfect for adventuring.
