The Plan

Concept:

/ Sketch (Illustrator)

An Artist starts sketching on the last page of his sketchbook. He then starts flipping through his sketchbook, revealing a beautiful women, in front of a mirror, putting on makeup.

Transition:

Color then starts to appear, as the black & white sketch begin to have form, transforming into a photorealistic image.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/ Photography (Photoshop)

The camera cuts to the women turning her head towards her back. Right as she turns her head, "FLASH!" "FLASH!" Camera's start flashing one by one, indicating that the women is in a photoshoot. The camera cuts to a wide angle shot, showing a full body shot of the women posing. At this point, the women is completely photorealistic.

The Artist hands then appear, changing / editing the image of the women. (Cropping, Color Correction, Brightness / Contrast, etc.)

Transition:

After few more modeling shots, one last "FLASH!" occurs, freezing the women into a still image (paper doll), along with the mirror. The camera then pans vertically, looking down, right as the still image of the women & mirror falls flat on a desk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/ Compositing (After Effects)

The Artist Hands appear, as it edits the scene, by compositing an environment behind the paper doll women & mirror.

First, the Hands drag a wall w/ a window attach to it. Then the Hands drag a night time environment, along w/ stars behind the window. And finally the Hands color correct the scene from daytime to nighttime.

Then all of a sudden, CRACK! The hands break the mirror! This frightens the women, which forces her to run!

As she is running, the Hands pull the background from left to right, allowing the environment to transition from room to hallway, simultaneously.

Transition:

While running, she stumbles upon few physical obstacles, making her trip and fall. As she trips, the camera zooms in and she looks back at the camera. The women then freezes into another still image.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/ Print (InDesign)

The Artist Hands take the shot of the women and edits the photo by adding text, shapes, textures, etc. It becomes a collage of elements that turn into a movie poster, book, or an advertisement.

Transition:

The hands take the final collage piece (Analog Style) and feeds it into a printer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/ Final Product (Movie Poster, Book, Ad, etc.)

1. The printer starts printing out the final product (Movie Poster, Book, etc.) As more copies are printed, the prints come out faster & faster, revealing the women running out of frame. Then the prints slow down, and finally the last print reveals the Adobe Logo.

2. The printer prints out 2 prints: First, the final product (Movie Poster, Book, etc.) And second, the Adobe Logo.

3. The printer prints out the Adobe Logo only.

* Please add/subtract any changes necessary.


***Although, I still kinda vote for the photographer to be an actual character in the photoshoot (rather than just hands), because that would make the scale shift from woman to paper doll seem way more drastic, and provide a difference between that scene and the others.. But I can totally understand if you guys wanna do it the other way though.
