Tell Me It Isn’t!

Try not to stare

But tell me – that shadow there

With its head in the air

It isn’t a bear…

There isn’t a bear

Come out of its lair

At the top of the stair

Is there?

Take care how you speak,

But tell me, that creak,

It isn’t the creak of the freak

The flying freak

With the crooked beak

About from to sneak

Up from behind

IS it?

Tell me, that sound

Isn’t the sound of the hound

The red-eyed hound

Creeping around

Dribbling and crunching

The bones it found

About to leap with one bound

On my back! It isn’t, is it?

Tell me, that movement I saw

Behind the door

It wasn’t a paw

Wasn’t a claw

It wasn’t the beast

About to roar

And pounce and gnaw –

WAS IT?

Yes, I know you told me before

But I’m still not sure

So, tell me once more.

I have re-posted the poem I’m using to illustrate where the (audio)/literature takes place in the various shots. There are 2 main sections to the poem in which show the necessity for tracking with character animation.


The opening scene will display my bear character in a 2d style as this is where the shadow variation takes place, this will draw the viewers attention and increase the fascination of the transcription further. It will take around a 1 minute with a combination of 8 shots as the shadow animation of the bear disintegrate into the attic at the top of the stairs.

The rest of the poem will take place in the bedroom scene this has been filmed with some strong lighting so ready for tracking also adding the cg elements, which are 2 other characters mention in the poem. A bird (flying freak with the crooked beak) and hound (sound of the red-eyed hound creeping around).In the bedroom scene objects such as the wardrobe, draws open/close to exemplify the adjectives used in the poem the creatures emerge and disappear.
