Here is a VISUAL REFERENCE for ILLUSTRATORS and ANIMATORS re: "Make-Up Sex: A Tiny Film."

> ILLUSTRATION NOTES:

* The LIPSTICK and MASCARA characters are in super rough draft form, but the elements of their characters are represented in this doodle.

* The overall lay-out of the HOTEL ROOM is present in the drawing (lamp with red lace over it, dissheveled bed, clothes tossed everywhere, cigarette smoke, tacky hotel decorations.)

> ANIMATION NOTES:

* The shot is in one take. It's a pull back from either the lamp with red lace over it (if that ends up working out as a resource) or a pull back from the cigarette in Lipstick's hand.

* Lipstick is going to be puffing smoke as she looks unimpressed with what transpired. She isn't angry, just looks like she wants to be somewhere else entirely.

* One element I really want to see make it into the animations is the Lipstick holding the bedsheets over her torso. I always think it's funny when there's a post-sex bed scene in a movie and the woman is holding the sheets up. It's just something I find to be a funny cliche.

* The rack focus from Lipstick to Mascara occurs about halfway through the animation. The background will go completely blurry as Mascara comes into focus. He droops forward, pathetically putting his face into his hands, as he comes into focus. He wallows in shame in the final moments.

* The concluding moments of the animation should be a pull-back out of a cosmetics case to reveal that's where the hotel is located. Much thanks to Metaphorest for the suggestion!

Attention: ILLUSTRATORS / ANIMATORS / MUSICIANS / VOICE OVER ARTISTS

This is a REQUEST VIDEO for "Make-Up Sex: A Tiny Film" which will need the following elements from each set of artists:

1) ILLUSTRATORS

* Illustrate the LIPSTICK character (female, big lips, big eye lashes, smoking cigarette, Jessica Rabbit-esque)

* Illustrate the MASCARA character (male, mopey, middle-aged, mustache, droopy brush on his head, all-around pathetic)

* Illustrate HOTEL ROOM and HOTEL ROOM ELEMENTS (cheap motel bed, motel lamp with red lace over it, rustled sheets, miscellaneous clothing items, ash tray, cheesy framed beach painting, tacky wallpaper, bad carpet)

* Refer to MOCK-UP ILLUSTRATION in video for more details!!!

* Upload TRANSPARENT .PNG files of illustrations (with body parts separated for animators to use easily)

2) ANIMATORS

* Once illustrations roll in, follow the MOCK-UP ANIMATION in the request video and assemble the resources (video should be about 10-15 seconds.)

* This is a pull-back tracking shot with a rack focus midway that goes from the disappointed Lipstick to the pathetic Mascara character.

3) MUSICIANS

* The score is only going to be about 10-20 seconds long, but we want to open with jazz-type music (preferably a saxophone solo) that sets a sexual mood.

* The score gets muted and out of whack once the pathetic Mascara character is revealed.

* Further requests for music will come after an animation assembly is created and we can time the score according to the action and rhythms.

4) VOICE OVER ARTISTS

* The final narration and wording is not quite set yet. The wording could go a number of ways (both v1 and v2 of the Tiny Story are resourced below.)

* Once we have an animation assembly, we can determine the tone and specific wording for the voice over.

THANKS!!!!!
