We have just had meetings and talks with the brilliant Dave Bull who has worked for the script development department at Aardman. I will be taking some of his tips on board, but he seemed to be excited by my animatic so far with the text on it.
He deconstructed Pixar's Wall-E for us, (which I now wish I'd seen before he told us the end!) and explained about the beats of a story, and the positive and negative balance of the events. A lot of it built on the Hero's Journey theory that I learnt whilst at Emily Carr in Vancouver last year although he had much clearer names for the sections than 'Return with Elixer'! A really great talk and gave me lots to think about with my story this week.
