The script pages are from a little ways into the movie, during a deep conversation with Bowen and the Dragon. In this assignment I learned a lot about camera angles (as one does when trying to have a conversation between a Dragon and a Human), conversational pacing and shot progression.

Ok, do a story and show me in 2 weeks." This was the first story I worked on with my mentor. We spent a couple weeks on it, 3 passes total, and then put it away. From pass 1 to pass 3, it was a roller coaster crash course into Storyboarding. This is the story of a Pokemon Go Raid against Mewtwo, seen from his POV as a hatched Raid Egg.
