https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl Interpretation of a Fable, by Springer Herdt en-us 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC 2024-10-15 02:33:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200976 I have always had an exact image for this beat, it is the scene where Rambo gears up for his last stand off. This is when the plot gets thick as the character gears up for the last, most impossible task.]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200976 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200977 The main character seeks help again with the same response she had always been given, but is determined to follow through with her plan. This is where the tone becomes darker, as the main character begins to realize that there is no turning back.]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200977 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200978 This beat is included to help infatuate the weight of the task on the main character, with emphasis on the heat. ]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200978 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200979 This is a more passive beat, and represents the passing of time and progression of the quest. (Although I'm not presently sure how, I would love to add a mirage in this to visualize just HOW HOT IT IS.)]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200979 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200980 In this beat, the main character resolves with the decision to take on the task by herself. The task does not scare or shake her, as the image suggests.]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200980 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200981 The character seeks help with her quest, but finds herself alone, yet still motivated. This image represents the visualization of a small hero facing down a rather large task]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200981 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200982 In this beat, the character discovers the purpose of the quest object from an oracle. The oracle will be wise and unmoved but friendly. ]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200982 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200984 IN this beat, the mother expresses her general annoyance and disgust with the glutton of the neutral-bad characters and their lack of altruism.]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200984 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200985 This introduces the main character as bright and willing, and her entourage as dependents with little to no development.]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200985 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200986 In this beat, the main character is introduced to the object of her quest, the mood is curious and playful and internal, as she wonders its origin and purpose. As this is the dawn of the quest, and its natural alignment with curiosity the color yellow will be prominent.]]> 2018-04-22 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200986 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254200987 Choosing this fable has opened quite the artistic door for many interpretations of the original story. The original story teaches perseverance in the face of a long-term, near impossible task and finding out the hard way that the only back that can truly carry your weight is your own. Since this story has been told in a variety of interpretations and forms of media, I also will be taking a more creative route, while still resolving the overall themes of the fable.
The characters (depending on available talent) may be live or puppeteered animals, accompanied by minimal costumes, but with enough visual details to feature the plethora of emotions felt by the characters.
The location will suggest a natural setting, most shots can be done outside in a garden, with lighting reflecting the mood of the scene for sake of continuity of character. The more internal shots can be done indoors with lighting and shades to reflect the thoughts of the characters. 
The time period will be kept in canon with the original concept. (Possible Western theme) 
The music will change with the tone of the scenes, the beginning a will introduce a more upbeat bluegrass, the middle a solemn struggling tune, and the ending with a victorious hoedown-ish banjo run accompanied with full band.

She is startled that she would consider temporarily leaving her day to day responsibilities behind for the long term achievement. The feeling from this beat is actually calm and reflective. ]]> 2018-04-23 01:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254216324 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254217889 This beat represents the main character's final good bye to her dependents before embarking on one of the last legs of her quest. (JOHN WILLIAMS STYLE MUSIC WITH PLENTY OF STRINGS AND DRAMA)]]> 2018-04-23 01:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254217889 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254218207 This is the incline of the main character's personal journey. She bears a heavy burden, but remembers constantly what she is doing it for. (Dramatic shots of our hero doing the task, while fading shots of her dependents pass over her, as well as the other unwilling characters, as though an insight into her thoughts) https://youtu.be/UgLx3uRR6p0?t=36s]]> 2018-04-23 01:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254218207 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254220579 In this beat, the character continues her quest, with closure with her dependents because she is able to provide for them while still completing her task.]]> 2018-04-23 02:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254220579 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254221263 Our hero is exhausted the day after one of her rather large tasks, but *ALMOST* reluctantly fights through the pain to achieve her goals. (I will draw energy for this beat from Ed Helms waking up in the beginning of The Hangover- beaten, but still on the move.)]]> 2018-04-23 02:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254221263 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254222456 The main character, after feeling weak and desperate, dramatically cries out for helps she knows will not come, simultaneously resolving that the help will never come, she finds new determination. This beat represents that shift from being okay with giving up, to giving it everything. This is the final David and Goliath moment before the sling is released. There is plenty of anger in this moment.]]> 2018-04-23 02:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254222456 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254223525 This is the beat that truly sets apart the determined and the simple. While the hero struggles to the finish line, the neutral-evil characters laugh at her for even trying, but are studious as to why she does what she does. (Here is a passing shot of the "hen" going back and forth while the other animals just watch, moving nothing but their eyes)]]> 2018-04-23 02:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254223525 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254224057 The challenge is finished. The hero is victorious and full of quiet pride. This beat is bright and simple, and full of sighs of relief. The main character finally has a chance to catch her breath. (Victory music, perhaps a trumpet fanfare)]]> 2018-04-23 02:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254224057 springerherdt https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254224780 This beat is blissful conclusion. The hero now has everything she could want. A happy family, personal riches, even the opportunity to make a point to those who need pointers. This is also the point where the main character's dependents see the value in long term goals and hard work. (There needs to be a shot of this understanding.)]]> 2018-04-23 02:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/springerherdt/lum29eif3txl/wish/254224780
