Script and Story Development Seminar

Suspension of disbelief- you believe and suspend the audience in the world you have created. This is a point proven by Aadman and Tim Burton as you don't question it, you believe and everything fits together.

Das Rad
An Object at Rest
Both films were about the passing of time, told in the eyes of rocks. These both dealt with the struggle of showing time rushing by. One of how a rock could be used and where they get used and shipped to, the other dooming mankind on their technological journey.

Story telling can be harder for stop motion as you only really have one set most of the time, whereas with digital animation, the only issue is your skill of drawing backgrounds.

The Art of OOO- Book i should look into

Logline

• Show focal character, plot line, villain 
• Try not to use names, use names to tell personality
• Maybe explain the ultimate goal
• The antagonist should show aim or personality
• Don't give away the ending too much
• Don't tell the story, sell the story

Tagline

• Sum up the movie as a whole
• Slogan 

Synopsis

• Brief summery of it all

Final Script

• Thinking of character
• Set
• Personalities
• Doesn't give anything away
• Sound so sound designers can go forward with it
• make sure storyboard artists can understand what is happening

These are all very important in how the overall animation could come out, think about it carefully and plan each section out.
