Assignment 1:
A reimagining of a selected scene from the 1966 infamous indie horror film Manos: The Hands of Fate. In this assignment, our goal was to add story structure, motivated characters, and make our chosen scene actually make sense.
Assignment 3:
Without having watched the film, the goal of this assignment was to board a scripted sequence from Illumination's "The Secret Life of Pets". We boarded the sequence in three weeks and pitched to a group of directors and mentors.
Assignment 2:
When two characters meet and when they part: boarding these two sequences was the goal of this assignment. Imagining that these scenes were within the larger context of a made up film, we created an original story concept and designed the two characters to be the film's antagonist and protagonist.
