Refined Character Design and Story

Story “apple of my eye”
·       Story stats with a row of empty cans,
·       One by one, they started flying, as Jed shoots them with his slingshot.
·       After he hit the last can, He confidently spins his slingshot, imitating a cowboy, who spins his revolver before holstering it back.
·       Not good enough with spinning the slingshot, Jed hits himself on the head with it.
·       As Jed is scratching the bump on his head, he notices a really huge and tasty looking apple on top of a tall tree.
·       Jed’s eyes glistens and his mouth water. He got really hungry from shooting the cans with his slingshot.
·       Jed now tries to get that apple!
o   Using his slingshot, Jed tries to shoot the apple. But he misses.
o   Surprised, he tries to shoot the apple again, but misses, again.
o   On his third attempt, He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, pulls on the rubber bands, and releases. Jed smiles as he watches the small rock fly through the air towards the juicy apple. Jed’s smile fades as the rock continues to fly, finally landing on someone’s head.
·       Angrily, Jed throws his slingshot towards the tree and starts climbing it instead.
·       Jed makes good progress and is getting closer and closer to the apple.
·       As Jed reaches his hands out to grab the apple, the branch his holding on to snaps, and he falls straight down.
·       Jed screams as he goes down, with his hands up in the air.
·       Suddenly, he was able to grab onto something that made a loud, stretching noise, it was his slingshot that he previously threw! It actually landed on one of the braches.
·       Jed sighs in relief. As he holds onto his slingshot, the apple falls down and hits him on the head. Jed fell down, but this time he is much closer to the ground.
·       As Jed is scratching the bump on his head, he notices a really huge tasty looking apple. This time, it’s within reach.

  1. I like his look! He looks like he's about 10ish? If that is what you're going for you are spot on! One thing to be careful about is he is more naturalistic than other characters so his actions aren't going to be as over the top. But try to push his expressiveness as much as you can. Since he's a kid they tend to be over the top
