Storyboards.

I Have No Script.
My storyline has no dialogue, just music...

Currently untitled.

I havent been able to access the internet lately so im just going to quickly update my blog.


I've figured out my storyline for my animation.

The main (and only) character is a 17/18yr old girl who is trying to regain a piece of her childhood. She's flying a kite in an empty field, surrounded by trees when the kite is blown into the tree. She tries tugging on the string to pull it down, but it doesn't work. She tries to climb the tree but it's too high and she slips. She gives the string one last pull and gives up. She walks away, as soon as she is out of sight, the kite flutters down from the tree and lands exactly where the girl was standing a few seconds before.

So there it is, I haven't exactly had much time to plan in between cruises and camping, but I came up with this idea and now it's stuck. I know it's a pretty short storyline with no dialogue, bit I think I can make it work in stop motion.



That's all for now :3

Photoshop

With Photoshop is there any specific one? Such as cs5 or Elements?

Sorry for all the questions...

Software?

I was wondering what software/programs i'd need to have at home to be able to work on my media projects.
Such as Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc.
