About the FMP story setting
The heart of this story is about a rebellious child’s thoughts and views on the world; everyone has had crazy experiences during adolescence, and in my story, the protagonist turns into a magical witch to symbolize her other state of mind.
Script
Scene 1: Bedroom
Foreground Introduction I still remember that special night, it’s an unspoken secret amongst the girls, today is the last day of my fifteenth year, and the first day I became a preppy witch.
One summer evening, the girl was in her room with a fan blowing, reading a book and taking notes.
The bedroom door was pushed open and the girl’s mom placed a glass of hot milk on the desk and instructed her to get an early night.
The girl nods softly at the sound of the door closing, then the girl gets up and plops down in the doorway of her room to listen for her mom’s footsteps.
The girl smiles badly and then makes a turn to the window, only to spin in place and snap her fingers as she transforms into a witch.
Scene 2 The sky outside the window
The witch excitedly rides her broomstick and draws circles in the sky, surrounded by firework effects pulled out by her magic broomstick.
Scene 3 Crossroads in a busy city
People look at the fireworks in the sky very surprised and reach out their hands to feel the beauty of the fireworks. There were also people taking pictures. The witch walks on the crowded street and passes through all kinds of people, the witch experiences a lot of happiness and new things she has never experienced in the night.
Scene 4 The windowsill at home
Close-up The witch’s feet land tentatively on the ground, she cats and pads her way step by step towards the bedroom, suddenly, she accidentally kicks over the small desk placed on the floor, and the milk tumbles to the ground, making a crisp ringing sound.
Scene 5 Living room
(the design of the living room can be as simple as possible, the picture only shows a dining table, surrounded by dark colors, you can vaguely see some of the arrangements, the daughter is sitting in front of the dining table, a beam of light shines down from above)
Daughter: Mom, listen to my explanation, it’s not what you think, I know my outfit is strange, but I didn’t do anything bad when I went out, I know it’s wrong of me to hide it from you, I just don’t want you to worry, and I have to go to set off fireworks to finish the social mission…
During this time the mom’s figure was busy with her back to her daughter until a cup of hot milk was placed in front of her.
The daughter looked at the present apprehensively, with the movements and eyes of a puppy that had done something wrong.
Mom looked at her daughter seriously said: mom tell you a secret oh, in fact, I was also once a witch!
Mom smiled, her expression was gentle, without the slightest reproach.
The daughter looks at her mom and her eyes gradually brighten up.
Scene 6 Outdoor sky and moon
Daughter and mom fly together in the night sky, straight at the moon, revealing the silhouettes of the two of them. The trailing smoke from the magic broomstick leaves a brilliant firework.
Design references about the main character
The main character in my mind should have red hair, so I looked for a few references of girls with red hair. These images are from two-dimensional artists on Artsation.
The two pictures above can be seen as the source of my creative inspiration. I hope I can design a strange girl with short red hair who looks playful and cute and full of thoughts about life.
This image is a basic keycolor reference for a stylized animated short that I wanted to make, using childlike elements to reflect the troubles and pains of growing up.
