Second Senior Pitch

Here is some development in our senior thesis concepts. I went ahead and came up with two newer ideas. Thw first is "A World's Beginning" and the second is a concept I pitched before but just developed some more.

A World's Beginning

Concept Statement

The universe is a large and colorful place with endless borders that we have yet to 

discover. We wonder how it began and what worlds are out there, so let us go on a 

magical view of how one world was born.

Story

As we begin in pure black space, magical beings begin to take form. We watch 

as eight elemental gods use their ability to create the stars and the heavens, the 

earth and the seas, and the sky above. Seeing a colorful and mystical display of 

creation we wonder what could possibly go wrong.  

A Broken Spirit

For this concept I also wrote a poem that would be the voice over for the piece.

Concept Statement

Though we may become shattered by life’s trials and tribulations, 

we are not alone. There is always someone who can find us in 

our darkest hour and bring us back to the light.

Characters

Female (Savior) & Male (Broken Spirit)

Conflict

A man in his castle is alone and lost. He begins to allow the 

shadows to take him in and show him a way to be free. But as 

he falls further into the darkness our Savior comes from the 

heavens to bring him back into the light.

Ending

Our heroin comes to the man’s aid at his darkest point and heals 

his broken spirit.

Poem

MALE:

My spirit is broken.

And as I stair into the darkness.

The shards begin to pierce my heart.

They tear through me leaving me broken apart.

FEMALE:

In the dark I can hear your heart break

But I can not see you.

I come to you listening for the sound

But darkness is all that I have found.

MALE:

The silence leaves me deaf and the shadows leave me blind.

I listen for someone that is with me, but the shadows are all that I find.

FEMALE:

As I search and follow I begin to lose my place.

So I make a trail from the stars so that I may find your face.

MALE:

These walls push in on me, forcing the shards further in.

The shadows take me away from the prison I am in.

FEMALE:

I find you on the edge almost out of my reach.

MALE:

I feel your heartbeat coming close to me.

BOTH: 

I reach out to you and you do the same

Leaving the shadows from where they came.

MALE: 

I follow you feeling the ache leave my heart.

My spirit is broken no more.
