Using the structure of a story spline, I drew eight illustrations for each beat of my story as part of a pitch for my Concept Development class. This is also the color script for this short film concept.

1. Once upon a time, there were two elementary school siblings, Ret and Crenzie.

2. And everyday, they lived near a mansion where they see nobody come out or in of. Everyone in their neighborhood believed it’s haunted.

3. Until one day, The siblings decided to investigate the mansion at night.

4. And because of that, they got lost.

5. And because of that, they found a ghost and got chased by it.

6. And because of that, they got separated.

7. Until finally, They reunited and it was revealed that the ghost was actually an eight-year-old named Michael, who lives in the mansion alone with his parents. Michael thought Crenzie and Ret were burglars, but then the siblings explained to Michael why they snuck into the mansion.

I’ve occasionally posted concept art of a story I drew for my animation classes, but here is an animatic with some rough animation I put together of a ghost chase scene that’s part of my story. 

So my story is basically about these two siblings, Ret and Crenzie, who lives near a haunted mansion. One night, they decided to investigate it, but they got lost in it. Eventually they find a ghost and got chased by it, which is the scene I made the animatic of. In the end it turns out the ghost was actually an 8 year old, named Michael, who lives in the mansion alone with his parents. That’s a basic story explanation, yeah.
