Story/ Scenario

Due to the time the test animation cannot be a full story, I had to think of a way to integrate the characters together quickly but still give a bit of background. I decided that opening the animation with a text prelog was best and would then go into the animated sequence. 

Opening with a text prelog:

After Selina had to run from guards, she dropped her precious log book that contains a record of all her and Jack's adventures. She is retracing her steps looking for the log around the bridge. Just as she spots the log she has to hide behind a tree as a Troll appears, the troll picks up the log and looks in, when he hears the noise of approaching guards he puts the log in his pocket and enters a hidden door underneath the bridge just as the guards pass over. Selina watches from her hiding spot, once the guards have passed, her and Jack start to think of a plan to get the log back from the troll. 

Behind the hidden door there is a home that Rowen has been hiding in for years, it is safe here as the magic door cannot be seen by humans, only magical creatures are able to see it and Rowen has nothing to fear from them, as trolls are strong, fearless warriors, only the elves were equal to them but the elves relied too heavily on the ancient royal family and the their mystical powers that protected all, since the family was lost the elves have long since been driven from the land, no Rowan had nothing fear about someone finding him here… or so he thought.

Animation:

The scenario will play from here and is Selina and Jack breaking into the Rowans home after nightfall in order to retrieve her log book. She must sneak around so as not to wake up Rowen, who has fallen asleep reading the book. As she reaches for the book she notices a necklace that has slipped out from Rowens top, she has an irresistible urge to touch the stone pendant and reaches for it, Rowen wakes up and a fight breaks out. They both hear guards over foot and while they can't see the magical door they would be able to hear the noise of the fight. Hearing them, Rowen signals Salina to be quiet, they both wait as the guards pass overhead.

Continuation:

This would then lead to a conversation between the two. 

As I cannot animate a full story, I picked a scenario in which the two could interact and would allow movement, so that I can test the puppets to their maximum capabilities. I have however enjoyed writing this scenario and character bios and the story maybe something that I develop further in my spare time.
