    Description

    Experience Level: Expert
    Estimated project duration: less than 1 week
    Num. of words: 200
    Topic: Script to illustrate a quote/saying
    Tone: Other
    Extra notes: We are a production company and are doing a series of short animated films based on different quotes and sayings.

    Right now we are doing a 'pilot' short film for the series and need a script for one such animated short film. We need writers who can collaborate with us on this one film and are also open to further work on other stories that we will begin soon.

    This animated short film needs to drive home this quote "If you want to eliminate evil from the hearts of others, then first uproot it from your own" The film needs to present this quote/saying and needs to provoke thought in this regard.

    The film should not be 'preachy' and in fact must contain no spoken words by the characters. NO DIALOGUES. The above mentioned quote will be presented in the film at the end or the beginning or at whatever point you feel is most appropriate. The quote will come in as a text super.

    The duration of the proposed short film is about 3 minutes. Since it is an animated film we have more freedom in terms of designing characters, locations/sets, plot, etc.

    We need to catch the attention in the first 20 seconds and need keep the attention sustained throughout the film - and end with a sharp twist that forces the audience to think about the quote we want to promote through this film.

    Here are some examples of the type of story we are looking for - these examples are not given here to copy the characters or plot - they are given here as examples of the silent (without dialogue) but powerful and thought provoking story we expect to get.

    Since there are no dialogues to drive the story forward - we need action and situations to drive it. The story needs to push some emotion to be effective. We are looking at humor, drama or suspense as a genre for this film but are open to any idea that can deliver the quote in the most powerful manner.

    We look forward to get the story in a storyboard format so that small nuances of gestures and actions can be denoted easily. However, you could use any other format that you are comfortable with - as long as the smaller details and gestures are present in the script in some format that is clearly understandable by our team. The overall plot and idea will matter a lot and so will the character design but we feel that the small details will also make a big difference in getting the final result that we are aiming for. Hence the emphasis on detail.
