Log Line and Elevator Pitch

An ordinary girl calls upon her magical transformation powers to open a jar of mayonnaise, and using her newly unleashed abilities she embarks on the adventures of her ordinary life.


My film is a Flash animation comedy spoof that takes a modern american college student and gives her magical anime girl powers. The story follows her as she attempts the mundane task of making a sandwich, and what happens when she calls on her transformation powers to open the Mayo jar. The style of animation will be very american but when our heroine magically transforms, the style changes to an anime look and sound with traditional 90s anime tropes.

Effects

There are two big special effects sequences in the film. There is the magical girl transformation and when the Ordinary Magical Girl shoots her "Procrastination Beam" ...patent pending. I found these tutorials to show how we might be able to achieve some of the effects for those shots.

Moodboard

The Short will have two contrasting styles. One which reflects the modern female cartoon sensability, while the other is heavily influenced by the style of Magical girl anime. This anime style will be see twice in both the Transformation and attack sequences.
