Shot list

This is just my list of all the shots so I won't go mad while trying to make yet another 2D animatic. The finalized shot list will include all production tasks required for each shot. Right now, I am feeling a little sad because I have 46 shots. 46 SHOTS! How the hell did this happen?!!!

1. Canera fades up on the "No Trespassing Sign." Pushes in, and Billy's shadowed figure can be seen carrying a box entering from the left side of the frame.

2. Closeup, the box is dumped onto a stone ledge.

3. Camera shows Billy's face, he is tired.

4. Closeup on Billy's hands as he opens the box, revealing ingredients and the manual inside. He takes out the manual

5. Billy flips open the manual to the first page. On one side is the "Thank you for buying message, on the other is the picture of the knight on the dragon." Billy's hand moves from the left page to the right to caress the picture of the knight and dragon.

6. Billy smiles warmly at the picture.

7. Billy turns the page and it says, step 1, find a well.

8. Billy looks up. A medium closeup shot of Billy pulls back to reveal the entire environment, including the entire well, trees in the background, and the overhead light.

9. Billy turns to page 2 which lists the first ingredient to add.

10. Billy searches around in the box, finds the first ingredients, and pours it into the well. The well starts to glow very slightly.

11. Start the montage--scenes crossfade between each other. Billy's finger taps onto ingredient 2.

12. Billy throws in the plant ingredient (2).

13. Billy drifts back over to the book and looks in it.

14. Billy turns the page to show ingredient 3

15. Closeup of potion being poured in the well (same animation as pouring action in shot 10, different angle and different color ingredient)

16. Page turns, ingredient 8.

17. Throws in another ingredient.

18. Page turns, ingredient 14.

19. Well starts glowing very strongly. End montage

20. Page reads, "FINAL INGREDIENT. Warning: do not use more than a couple drops."

21. Billy carefully takes out the final ingredient, a vial of glowing pink fluid, and uncorks it. The lighting flickers, and Billy looks up nervously.

22. Closeup of the overhead light flickering.

23. Extreme closeup of Billy's face, he carefully pours a single drop of the final ingredient into the well.

24. An overhead shot of the well shows that nothing has changed except for a slight ripple in the liquid.

25. Slightly frustrated, Billy adds a few more drops.

26. Again, nothing happens.

27. Angrily, Billy pounds the side of the well. The final ingredient vial slips and tumbles into the well.

28. The final ingredient is shown splashing into the well.

29. Billy makes a scared face. The light flickers again, and he looks up.

30. Closeup on the light going out

31. Camera shows the vial falling to the bottom of the well. Viscous pink liquid flows out of the bottle, and starts to take shape. Camera pushes in on a dragon embryo beginning to form rapidly.

32. The well is bubbling furiously.

33. Billy peers into the well nervously.

34. A dragon bursts out of the well, and the camera follows it into the air. Slightly slow motion as the dragon breathes licks of flame and roars.

35. Billy looks on in wonder, the dragon's shape reflecting in his eyes.

36. The dragon is roaring when the light suddenly clicks back on. Dragon's eyes are startled as if he is realizing something.

37. Billy and the dragon shown in a side view. The dragon is very tiny.

38. Billy looks on in wonder as the dragon lands on the edge of the well, kind of upset that he's so small. Billy's surprised face turns into a smile.

39. Billy lifts the dragon onto his shoulder.

40. Back view as the dragon puts its head against Billy's happily. The manual is in view, and the camera pushes slightly in toward it.

41. The manual reads "Enjoy your new might dragon!" and on the opposite page is the same knight on a dragon.

42. Billy sighs, slighly disappointed. The dragon peers downward to see what he is looking at.

43. Closeup on the dragon's face, which gets angry.

44. The dragon breathes a huge fireball and reduces the manual to ashes instantly.

45. Billy is totally shocked, but slowly gets a mischievous face, which the dragon mimics.

46. Billy leaves with the dragon, and the camera follows him slightly, but Billy and the dragon leave screan right. Camera ends on the discarded ingredient bottles, open box, the well, and smoking ash of the manual.
