FADE IN:

EXT. PARK – DAY.

Spring. The flowers bloom and the grass is cut. Birds CHIRP in the trees. A WOMAN (35) sits on a bench reading a book, wearing a large brimmed hat. A BOY (8) plays fetch with his DOG. The boy tosses his Frisbee and the dog catches the toy in his mouth.

On the third toss, the dog jumps in the air to receive the disk, but a HAWK intercepts the Frisbee. The hawk flies off to a nearby oak tree.

In the tree, the hawk makes a nest. It gathers twigs and leaves. The dog BARKS at the hawk from the base of the tree. The hawk taunts the dog with funny faces.

The dog climbs the tree. The hawk tosses sticks and acorns at the dog hitting the dog on the nose. The dog continues to climb the tree. The hawk turns around and poises to do its business on the dog.

The dog snatches the Frisbee from under the hawk. The hawk flips in the air and recovers itself. The hawk grabs the other side of the Frisbee with its talons. The hawk and the dog play tug-of-war over the Frisbee.

The hawk’s MATE returns and joins in the tug. All three pull at once. Their grips fail. The Frisbee flies in the air and falls to the ground.

The boy catches the Frisbee as it falls. He tosses the Frisbee away from the tree. The dog jumps from the branch and pursues the disk, BARKING.

The hawks frown.

WOMAN (O.S.)
Come on son, time to go home.

The woman, the boy, and the dog all walk away from the park. The hawks see the woman’s large brimmed hat. They grin. They fly to the woman, one on each side, and grab her hat. The hawks fly off.

Premise
The next big opportunity is just around the corner.

Treatment
A boy and his dog play fetch in the park. The boy tosses his Frisbee several times and the dog retrieves it. On the third toss, the dog goes to catch the Frisbee in his jaw, but a hawk flies by and snatches up the Frisbee. The hawk flies to a nearby tree and begins to make a nest out of the disk. The upset dog chases the bird to the tree and barks. The bird taunts the dog. The dog climbs the tree. The hawk throws sticks and acorns, then it poises to do its business, but the dog grabs the Frisbee in its teeth. The hawk grabs the other side of the Frisbee with its talons. They play tug-of-war. The hawk’s mate flies up and pulls on the Frisbee as well. The disk is pulled and slips out of everyone’s grips. It falls to the ground into the boy’s hands. He tosses the Frisbee and the dog pursues. The hawks are left homeless. A woman calls to the boy to go home. She wears a large hat. The hawks fly by the woman and fly off with her hat.

3D Red Ball Bouncing

Red Ball Bouncing from Jonathan Ware on Vimeo.


This ball was made in Maya.


2D Pencil Ball Bouncing

This ball was hand drawn and scanned into the computer. It was, however, to short for the vimeo to upload and youtube cuts it short.
