A New Game plot and details

For the animation, I was in charge of writing (the treatment and screenplay) and animating act 1, Chloe for act 2 and Marilyn for act 3. I was in charge of collecting, cleaning up and streamlining the treatment and screenplay.

Here's a copy of the treatment and logline, because I forgot to put these up earlier:



Logline

A pair of siblings, an older brother and younger sister, argue over the appearance of a videogame character on a character customisation screen.

Treatment:

Older brother= Zack, younger sister= Lulu

Act 1

Sitting on a couch in his family’s lounge, the moody teenager, Zack, playing a videogame. Lulu, Zack’s younger sister, runs into the lounge and sits next to him, ignoring his obvious displeasure. Lulu continues to ignore Zack’s attempts to get her to leave and instead asks him what he is doing. Resigning himself to Lulu’s presence, Zack explains that he is beginning a videogame and is currently creating the character.

Act 2

Lulu becomes intrigued and excited at the fairy wing options available. Lulu asks if she can have a turn, to which Zack refuses. He tells her to get lost, Lulu stares at him a moment then dives for the controller. Zack shouts in protest to no avail. The menus start to flick through various items as lulu looks for those wings she saw earlier. The second those wings are put on his character Zack starts to complain it was too girly, the menus flick to some options that are more black, replacing the fairy wings with those of a bat. Lulu does not like this and counters it by adding blush and a tiara. The siblings argue over the characters appearance as. various sparkly and edgy parts are swapped and replaced on the character.

Act 3

After a long time arguing without any satisfying result, their mother who hears them shouting from another room tells them to be quiet or she’ll turn off the game. Both siblings soon quiet down while looking at the TV screen and try to figure out an outfit for the character that appeals to both of their tastes. The resulting videogame character is a mix of Zack’s edgy style and Lulu’s pink sparkly style, which turns out to be quite interesting. Then Zack adds two horns which makes them laugh so hard after seeing the unique character. Soon after that, they are satisfied with their character’s ‘patchwork’ appearance and look each other with a bright smile.

We also have the screenplay, but that's a .pdf file which Blogger doesn't like. A New Came characters, concepts and story are copyrighted to Megan A., Marilyn S. and Chloe T.
