Hey guys! Apologies for being a week late. Due to the feedback I got on my last story reel, I had to sit and think long and hard about my story and where I wanted to take it. I really loved the idea a few people mentioned about Piper's childhood drawings coming to life, but I wasn't sure where to take the story to go along with that idea. I may still flip back to that idea, but I just wanted to stick with this for now and see how it pans out. Trying to consolidate my ideas and not make this story too big. Not sure if I'm still introducing the magic light painting too late in the story-- let me know what you guys think! Any feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Here's an outline of my Act 1 story reel!

(MAJOR BEAT 1) Once upon a time, there was a shy, young artist named Piper.

(MINOR BEATS)
- Piper attends an art school and is constantly surrounded by a bunch of other talented, confident artists.
- She looks at their work, looks at hers and ultimately compares herself. She wants to be as good as them, so she develops a perfectionist mindset
- And so, Piper draws, and tries to keep up with her classmates but soon discovers how much she doesn’t enjoy her passion anymore. She burns herself out.
-She loses her spark.


(MAJOR BEAT 2) Everyday Piper is reminded of how much she doesn’t enjoy drawing anymore, and how much she used to love it as a child.

(MINOR BEATS)
-Piper grabs some of her old sketchbooks and pictures from her younger years and flips through them.
-She reminisces of the times when she created without fear— without comparison. When she had fun drawing.
-She’s inspired by her old art. She decides that she wants to try anything to get that spark back
-And so she sits at her desk and tries to come up with a new idea.
-Piper tries to brainstorm and draw and ultimately gets too wrapped up in the mistakes— and gives up.
-Piper wrestles with her mind. She faces the hard decision of whether or not she’ll continue to pursue her passion of drawing—or find a new passion.


(MAJOR BEAT 3) Until one day, Piper decides that drawing isn’t her thing anymore. She decides that she’s going to find another passion. A new spark.

(MINOR BEATS)
-And so, Piper scrolls through her phone one night in search of inspiration— anything else that’d capture her attention.
-She discovers light painting. She sees how much fun other people are having and sees the masterpieces that people are posting.
-And so, Piper looks up a tutorial on how to make them and decides that this may be where she finds her new spark.

And then this rolls into Act 2!

Thanks for watching! :o)
