Although it was a lot of work and super tiring, It was very beneficial and was pretty fun to do! I can now see how necessary it is to have all these shots drawn out to get a clear representation of the scene and make sure it is perfect!!  We might have an am...

Don't worry, im here to tell you!! As we don't fully know everything about our movie opener, my group and I have the basic premise of it. It's going to be the backstory of a young upcoming rockstar in high school. In addition, we are working with our coming of age genre; however, we hope to bring something different to the genre and spice it up a little more than just a simple girl in a "new school" as most coming of age movies are. We hope the rockstar aspect makes it 10000x times better. Spotted: Who is doing what?
