my idea for the animatic is called "Forgotten", its about an alien (usual grey skinny stereotyped one) my reason for this is that its an image we all associate with easily. the alien will be shown in his house, he's obviously alone and the house is damp run down and messy looking, basically an all round dump. he'll be shown performing tasks such as making breakfast but instead of cracking the eggs he'll just throw the whole thing in, shell and all. as the story progresses we'll notice that the alien is not all their, he'll talk to himself, self harm, rub the walls etc..... 

i hope to create a strong sense of sorrow towards the character. the twist in the story will be at the end when it is revealed that the shack is on the top of a skyscraper in the middle of a busy city.

the whole idea behind the story is how crazy it would be if an alien did come to earth but how long would it be before we grew tiresome and what would happen to the alien once it was forgotten about (not thinking about the ET going home route. he's on earth and staying here) would he become a bum and simply rot away on this planet.
