Story creation 12/07/2009
 
Our short assignment at school was to create a bunch of short stories, short as possible.

One way that i found out to create a story really easy and fast is to write the start, and then the ending. You could later on "build the bridge" to make the complete story.

Some examples are:

He got teleported into another dimention - He saves his own universe by destroying the enemy core of life.
Here we could fill in this story with alot of stuff. It may seem wierd. But i got something down, and really fast.

The dog was left alone in the house - The dog had cute puppies making the family complete.
Here we could put in alot of stuff. Could be allmost anything. The dog was left alone, managed to get out and mate. Later the family allmost split apart, but with the birth of puppies it saves the family and they all stay together. The family could be newlyweds who allmost got devorsed.

Over to my assignment. This was to write short stories short. As earlier mentioned.

My list is:



A indian had killed a bear, but didnt know until after that he had left a bearchild motherless. He decides to raise it by himself. trying to pay the sorrow he caused both the animals.

A robot is sent of to space, looking for life on other planets. Finds something, becomes friends. And unplugging itsself to save the other life from the humans.

A hero from a distant universe on a mission to save his own planet from collision with another planet.

A shark on a bloodlust hunt for humans, gets killed by other sharks to protect the greater good.

A mad child invents a controlling device for human minds, but gets discovered and lands in powerfull wrong hands.

A solider alone. Walking the desert to get back to his base. Falls into a cave, discovering a nuclear storage. Destroys them and himself. protecting his own nation without recognition.

A robot in love with a cat. fishing day and night to get the cat the fish it wants. But no luck in fishing with no bate, the robot is too kind to hurt anyone, or anything. Ends up losing his selfish cat to a human.

A bunny exploring the city after escaping from its home. And all the challanges it may bring

A mountain climber discoveres a portal to a new world. The challange is to find the way back home.


And all this drawn together i came up with a first draft to a short animation film:


 The life of music.
 
One shallow person who has a boring job, same routine every day. Scared of change. Thats Bob. Bob lives by himself, he has no friends or girlfriend. Just his guitar and a goldfish to keep him company. Bob usually sits at home every nigh and play on his guitar. He's quite good at it.
One day Bob gets held up a few minutes at the job and rushes to the train he was supposed to be on.
He gets on the wrong train, but doesnt realize it before the train is on its way.
Bob ends up on a place he's never been before. Its getting dark and no train are heading the way home for him. As he wonder around the street he discovers that its a poor neighbourhood with alot of crime. Bob is terrified and confused. A homeless person attempting to play a guitar cathes his attention. The homeless person doesnt know how to play, but it seems like its the only thing he can do to earn some money. Ofcourse he gets very little. After a while Bob is still standing there, listening. Its like he doesnt know anywhere else to go. The homeless person ask's Bob his name and what he do. He doesnt aswer. More time goes by and Bob has built up the courage to answer. They talk a little and Bob asks if he could try his guitar. He starts playing, beautifully and money starts to roll in. The homeless person is thankfull, but feels a bit unused. Bob pushes over the metal box with the money, flips it and hints that he could drum on it. They do and they really get the music going! People is crowding around them, they earn quite a bit and the setting is nice.

Bob gets an offer to play at a nightclub by a passing by person while they are playing. This is something he always dreamed about, but never deared to try. He accespts, leaves the homeless person again with nothing. A bad thing to do ofcourse.

The night Bob is about to play, he gets up on the stage. But he is to scared to do it alone. People start "booing" him and shouting. As he is about to leave the stage we hear some metallic drumming comming from the enterance of the nightclub. The homeless person is to the rescue. Bob turns around and goes back onto the stage. They two meet, standing face to face a couple of meters from eachother. Ofcourse the homeless person aint happy with Bob. They move towards eachother and shakes hands. Giving eachother the look that everything is ok. they both turn faceing the crowd and starts playing some awsome songs.
