So my friend and I both created Pansy. But this new post is a poem she wrote that I am interested in animating. We have been stuck on this poem for a while and really wanted to create something great out of it. For Pansy, I have a very very rough storyboard for, but this one still needs work. I would like to share with you a poem from my bff Cassie DeMario. Respect the Greatness :P
"Connor"
There was a kid playing guns in a toy store
And I asked him, “Hey kid what are you shooting for?”
He said, “Bang! Bang! You fall to the ground”
And I fell, I fell, I fell
I was walking through the streets downtown
And the children were making their way down
Rushing to see the new piece of plastic
Their smiles were superficial but fantastic
All through the day, life’s wasting away
And all through the night, I dream
Of going away, exactly where I can’t say
I don’t know when, but I’ll get there some day
I was zoning out of time
Then I heard a sound that rattled my mind
A mother was yelling at her weeping child
And then she smiled, she smiled, she smiled
My nephew only stares at the screen
When he grows up, I wonder what he’ll be
Some big success, the pride of the family
No, I suppose he’ll be more like me
There was a kid playing guns in a toy store
And I asked, “Hey kid what are you shooting for?”
He said, “Bang! Bang! You fall to the ground”
And I said no child not this time around
No child not this time around
I see a lot of potential for this visually. Hope you enjoyed it.
