CSE 456 - Storyreel and DVD Design and Production for CG Animation

Assignment #1

(due Tues. 6/27)

Write Three Stories

Use the information, exercises, procedures and structure you experienced in the first class to design and write three stories. Be sure to use the seven steps and design the steps so that they follow each other in order. Remember to make the second step result from the first, etc. all of the way down the line. In addition, create an armature for the story. Make sure that it is one full sentence and that your story (seven steps) support your armature.

So, here's the order expected for this information:

Your Name
The Title of your Story
The Armature for your Story
The Seven Steps

You will need to make sure that you story fits into the following restrictions:
  1. There will be two main characters in your story.
  2. These characters will both be women.
  3. All of the action in your story happens INSIDE a structure or building.
  4. Limit the stories to those that can be told in three minutes.
Your assignment #1 is due on June 27th. It is wise to start thinking of ideas now and think of many more ideas so that you can pare the story ideas down to three.

If you have any questions about this assignment, bring them to class and we'll discuss them You might want to try out your ideas by telling the stories to friends or family to get their feedback.

Happy story hunting!
