Part of the Visual Narrative unit on my Masters course involves creating a sequence that communicates the story of an already very-widely known and frequently adapted narrative. In this case, the story is The Three Little Pigs. Since the story is so well-known it gives us a lot of leeway and opportunity to play with it and change it up.
For my story I've decided to create a wholly unnecessary ramped-up sequel. Years after the events of the previous story, the Brick House Pig has become a successful builder and realter. Everyone in wherever-the-heck-this-story-takes-place knows that his brick houses are the safest way to go and have built a happy thriving little community. One day a new wolf (maybe a descendant of the original Big Bad Wolf) rocks into town and tries his hand at taking over where the original Big Bad Wolf left off. Knowing that huffing and puffing will no longer suffice, and the approach of climbing down the chimney clearly won't work, he has somehow procured himself a tank. The pigs in the town have to work together to stop him before he blows all their houses sky-high and eats them.
The story's ending involves a bit of irony and role-reversal as the pigs have to trick the wolf into leaving the safety of his tank so they can drop a brick on his head and kill him.
Here's some sketchbook stuff, comin up,most of which admittedly is from an earlier story draft that didn't really make sense and didn't go anywhere but still informs the current script. I'll post whatever I've got of the finished narrative (probably a script and some storyboards and a couple finished pages and concepts) once I've done it and turned it in. I'll probably post more sketchbook stuff within the next few days as well, why not.
