IVAN THE BIRD

Script for

Ivan the Bird

ACT 1:

Entering the Animation

As we hear noises of somebody collecting their belongings,

f Ln.Lab. cleaning the Ship model workshop and leaving the place, Screen fades to;

Presenting cnar.act er-s and r= .setting

Ivan is sitting on the niche/desk top in "otf mode" with I'lis head tilted sideways. He is in-between other modeling equipment and dusty shelves. [Alld.hncE- !!lioold te .. l ~<l[Iy roe lilin.l As all of a sudden a tiny, size of Ivan's foot, match-like character enters the shot

Pokes Ivan to wake him;

cu of Ivan's top

He's a wake like after a deep dz eam, confused, a moment of not knowing where he is;

MCU

But quickly, only briefly noticing the little IlI3tch without giving any crordnence to him .. >

MS

Searching carn: He's intrigued by the surroundings;

E:Kploring pt environ. Se.a.rching c amexa

As if we see through his eyes, thrilled camera quickly shows series of elements, Lcut aways) ~ Shelf with stuff up and down, the match again, his own legs and wings while he lifts them slightly; the table-pathway leading to ..

1'-15: revelation of new world The liindow!

Ivan' e react.Lon:

Back to Window to tbe outer world. xor e saturated and lighter the window calls IVan to explore the world. We see something behind t:he window Of Lnt.e r es t. { maybe a :slight move of tree, or a play of blurry shadows)

Match's Reaction CU (from slight above)

Match gets his intentions by with slight questioning first looking where the bird is looking then back to the bird with then a surprised concern;

Rushes to the window

As tvan from still position sc.a rt s running, camera runs together with Ivan from right above him , Hatch for a fraction of a second stays behind, but then quickly follows him by jump.lng .(10 .. ~.,., th~.,., lal'<""~: g:wund, d<=~tt<>p 4nd ~Mlf top,. Camera slows at the point the reaches the window ( match catches up with Ivan}.

[Interior f.rame]

Camera from ou:side the window to ebe window sees Ivan squashing to the window a n order to see IOOre: of the world. Match is in the right corner squashing' too.

MS

to it

MCU

does something little, and the window's- shut is open.

Profile ceme r a moves from inside to outside continuously.

Ivan like a dog pushes the window up with the beak, withholding it with his wings. And as camera roves towards the outside envt ronnent both jump out

Window POV

Jl.lI1lPS and reaches the floor.

Aprox. At Imi n lOS

ACT 2:

He is blown away! 8y Something absolutely Enchanting! A moment till he reaches the peek ( eyebrows neve r stopped lifting) (slightest leaning back)

MS

Ke is explot'ing the envaronmene , acquaints himself witl"l surroundings.

'$

Wings slightly in front, he is slightly bent, head tilt way up, jaw's open . Quick head turns ect . Match tries not to get far away from him at all times (as if parenting him ecr . J

But suddenly he rnOV9S towards s0l1J.9thing amazing in front of him!

Vertigo camera effect.

Beauty reveal shot

Camera is covered by his back and tail. But as he runs toward that something and camer-a slowly follows and 11 fts up, audience is revealed by the fascinating beauty the bird .saw, An Island in the lake relatively close to the sho~e. (P.S.: tr .. the point he jumped

He stops near the edge of the shore to take another look at it. ~ Hg-ht reflections play on his body J As we experience a magical moment we hear the mach finally catching up him. He is calm,

relaxed, enchanted.

Cam 45 deq. Front.

When he finally gets over the impreSSion a new idea struck him:

He has to has to has to reach the r s.tand.

He looks to both sides for solution He looks to his lower body section

Bird's POV

Looks around his lower body part. Tests his pelvis with wings: he has the toea he miqht float there ee he's paz t Laj.Ly e ship.

45 deq , Back:

Takes few firm still careful steps to the water ( like a penguin) Looking around himself and the water under h!rn. "sits" down on the water: and rushingly pedals with his feet (like a crazy duck} looking up with closed eyes as if scared or lying to hi.m.sel£ he could actually swim there like that. Match j umcs

on the shore actively to say No! No! Not like that!

Series of problem reveal shot.a

But he isn't a rear ship; he could never swim there like one. He s1nl::,s.

He wobbles in the water faster: to each side. then leans to the back as water rushes in. (Sounds of water rushing in his pelvis area) tries to keep the balance with his head, wings.

CU ) almost profile} Reaction Him disappointed. He looks down

and frowns.

45- deg. Back

He stands up in the water and slowly with all the body Language saying he is absolutely downcast, like a penguin slowly comes back to the ehore.,
