I think I want to keep working on Monkey Saves the Daypaint. I'll be taking a 2D animation class next semester and I have the option of continuing with this story or starting a new one. The fully animated short will only be a minute and a half long, so I need to consider the best way of trimming the story I've got.
And reformatting my shots. For inspiration, I'm re-watching the Puss in Boots I started last weekend. These shots are really interesting because they stylishly show an event and the reaction to that event (cats), a sequence of events from multiple angles on the same screen (milk) or a medium shot and a close up shot (Puss and his boot). The final shot is a little bit of the excellent hat work that happens throughout the film. My favourite shot is when Puss bows his head and his hat blocks out the screen, but I couldn't get a screen grab that did it justice. There are also some great slow motion shots as Puss cartwheels around in action sequences.
