Final Project Treatment
(Rotoscoping) Nick wakes from a deep sleep, he is in his bed, but his bed is in the middle of a strange field. Eyes closed, he yawns as he rubs the back of his throbbing head. He opens his eyes to see his strange location. His vision is blurry and space and colors are distorted. He walks towards a figure standing by a strange machine. The machine is roughly the size of a phone-booth. This mysterious man opens the door to the machine and beckons Nick to enter, without question, Nick steps into the machine. The mysterious man closes the door behind Nick. ~25 seconds
(Animation / motion graphics) Inside the time machine it is pitch black. A moment later the machine begins to make loud noises, and it's interior flashes abruptly. Nick is sent flying through a place between dimensions, space and time are warped, his body is stretched and smashed into pieces before finally re-materializing in the once again dark machine. ~15 seconds
Nick looks for a handle to open the door of the machine, but the door swings open easily as he pushes on it. He steps out, confused and unsure of his whereabouts. He runs straight forward, directly away from the machine. Before he is able to get very far, his head is met with cane of the mysterious man, he is knocked unconscious as he falls into a bed that appears below him. fade to black. ~15 seconds
Nick wakes up yet again, he yawns and rubs his head, then opens his eyes. End ~ 10 seconds
This is basically a tragic tale of amnesia and time-travel for the very unfortunate character, Nick.
