The Tubberfly - Narrative construction & script development

Having written the script for Tubberfly for the first time, I feel it is necessary to write out the narrative process to support my sketchbooks Narrative construction research also. My script has also been refined and shall be re-written, as some areas have been analysed and critiqued as unrefined in areas.

Act one - Setup

Tubberfly is a different kind of Butterfly. As the modern world has invited him into todays era; he lives on processed unhealthy food which has been found and left over by children and adults at a local park he lives in. Tubberfly has essentially became a land animal; rather than the flying one he is supposed to be.

Act two - conflict

Very soon, Tubberfly whizzes past a beautiful female butterfly; his Love at first sight is introduced into the story. As Tubberfly attempts to fly up high to continue talking to the Lady butterfly; he realizes he has lost the ability to do so. Tubberfly cannot spend any time with the one he loves without the ability of flight. Over the course of two days, Tubberfly attempts to find new ways to fly, he creates hot air balloons, Da vincis flying machine concepts, birds and even a soda pop jet pack. Still he cannot reach or get to the Lady butterfly, as all of these fail, despite his efforts; as he is still too heavy for all of these methods.

Act three - Resolution

Tubberflies numerous physically exerting efforts have in fact allowed him to lose weight, one morning he is shocked as the simple concept of helium fulled balloons tied to his waist successfully rise him up high in the sky. Birds however pop all these balloons for some morning fun; as he is falling through the air - he sees the lady butterfly. Tubberflies first second hand nature reaction is to go to her - here he realizes he has lost a tremendous amount of weight and can fly all by himself. Lady butterfly and (no longer really) Tubberfly can live happily ever after together in a relationship in the sky.

Script development - First draft and final draft

Tubberfly original script

As the script has been written in Celtx, I have had to take images of the script - as my printer also does not allow me to scan directly onto the computer. these scripts can be viewed in the second sketchbook after the storyboard. A script breakdown is also required, though due to it being an animation this is only based on colours in areas of the script.

In the above images (though unreadable) the scrip[t had been annotated, these are annotations on improvements of the script; as well as revisions on the camera angles. This can also count as a script break down, as camera angles annotated - however this is not the scripts final version - and shot will be just as descriptive in the second script which is going to be put into a colour based script breakdown.

Above are images of the scripts final draft, this script was improved in language based on self critique and a critique from another person. feedback:

The script has a good pace and is generally well written, the comedy within the script is partially slapstick but as this product is aimed at a child audience it would most likely hit its mark extremely well, over-all the script is well written and I think it has little room for improvement.

The script has been given a final spell check, as many miss spells were present. 

Tubberfly Line test

My Narrative animation project title is the Tubberfly. Below is a line test of the main character Tubberfly. I feel this could be improved as the foot slides when it should remain firmly in place. However this still remains to give a decent idea of how the tubberfly moves. Tubberfly will squish and stretch, remain contoured in dimpled areas and always have an element of foreshortening going on.

Tubberfly is about to turn around as camera dramatically zooms into his face.

The colour scheme of Tubberfly will mainly consist of a dusky pink, as at times he turns a brighter pink with a mix of red when he will get flashes from his smitten and bashful behavior as well as running and exercising too much.

this movement has been influenced from Sylvain Chomets animation studies. When drawing larger characters, Chomet has them move around with their shape being manipulated. The example clip is of a woman who is capable of walking fast, as she is top heavy and slims down towards the bottom half. Tubberfly is the opposite; and as Chomet has proportions the other way round, the characters also tend to show a slower pace than the example below.

I feel for improvement I also should have had Tubberflies head begin to raise much sooner than it does within this line test. Where I imagined I'd have more spacial freedom on how shapes can be manipulated; it is in fact a more delicate and gradual process. as it has been treated at the beginning; but then it stops as I attempt to manipulate his head at the squishiest and flattest part, and it bounces back up very choppily.
