TREATMENT
“Naomi! You do realize it’s 8:30 right?” Marissa voice floated up the stairs, startling Naomi out of her tired trance. There was a loud crash and Marissa laughed from downstairs
Naomi whipped out of the room, frantically pulling on her sneaker. She took off towards the stairs, taking to sliding down the rail as her transport to the kitchen for today. Hitting the wooden floor, she pivoted towards the kitchen island, she nearly took a step when Marissa scolded her “No running in the house!”
“Sorry Mum!” Naomi quickly walked over to grab the cup of water and toast. Bouncing on her heels, sculled the drink before shoving the toast in her mouth. Placing the cup on the bench, toast in mouth she headed towards the door. “Bye Mum!” She muffled goodbye.
Opening the door, she sprinted out, the door crashing behind her. Wincing at the sound she finshed the toast before smoothing out her outfit and checking her terminal brace. “Shit! 8:40? Awww man, that gives me...” Counting out minutes on her hand quickly, “15 minutes?! For a 30-minute run at best?!”
Naomi geared herself up before taking off down the alley street in a full sprint. Her feet slapped at the pavement as she pushed towards the busy street, her toes catching a small lip in the footpath. Stumbling she regained balance, leaping out onto the footpath that ran parallel to the busy highway.
She miscalculated her leap, overshooting the footpath landing on the road. There was a loud honk, startled she leapt back just as a delivery truck flew passed her. The driver yelled out in rage at her.
Shaking off the incident she turned to continue her desperate sprint. At this rate if she took the normal route there was no way she would make it on time, a luxury she couldn’t afford.
Her quick thinking led her feet down the footpath into an alleyway, with a bit of parkour and determination she figured she could scale the buildings an take the high route.
Naomi rubbed her hands together, took her stance and went for it. Hands reached for the railing alongside the building, swinging she managed to throw herself on to the ladder that lead to the abandoned apartments. Hauling herself up, she scaled the ladder reaching the first ledge. After judging the distance between the ledge and air conditioner box, she took a leap of faith.
This started her determination, she then continued to haul herself up on random ledges, swung on anything to increase her distance until she reached the top.
Her body hit the rooftop, panting Naomi picked herself up and took a running leap.
She sailed over the gap between the buildings, continuing her pace, the route led her over three more blocks of buildings until finally she was standing at the edge of the last building and the company carpark.
From her current spot, she wouldn’t make that jump. Bouncing on her heels she backpedaled to a much more convenient spot. Taking a deep breath in, she stared down the carpark and ran, closing her eyes at the last minute as she leapt.
Naomi's feet hit solid ground, slowly opening her eyes, she took in her surroundings. The grey, boring concrete carpark filled with cars. She had made it!
Cheering out loud, she dusted herself off at headed towards the elevator. Hands on hips she waited for the elevator to come up. Ding! The elevator doors opened at a tall, intimidating shadow fell over Naomi.
Naomi looked up; her smile fell off of her face. A voice came from the shadow filled elevator, nasally and annoyed.
“Late, again Naomi Hale!”
THUMBNAILS
POSSIBLE MUSIC
Action Rhythm- I like this, but I am not sure it is quite what I am looking for.
Fight or Flight- Same as above, but both are good contenders.
Retro Platforming-I think this is the music I will go with more my animatic and animation. It fits best with the upbeat and exciting themes that I wanted my animation to have.
