Describe a small segment of a narrative that could occupy 20-30 seconds of a short
animation or cut scene from a game where your character does something that conveys
emotion: funny, sad, surprised, etc. An example would be something like this: A kid in a
karate gi stands in front of a board ready to attempt to snap it. The board is suspended
between two cinder blocks as the kid tries every move to break the board, but the board
will not budge. Finally, after falling on the floor, he sits up and leans on the board with his
elbow, chin resting on his palm with the look of frustration on his face. The board snaps
and he falls again with a thud and dust puffs up.
Rex grabs his bass guitar and plugs it into his amp. He intensively tunes it before he begins to
play, pulling out his phone to look up music to learn. After some attempts to get the riff right, he
gets frustrated and claws at his hair before throwing down his bass guitar. He puffs out his chest
and crosses his arms, acting like it’s the guitars fault. He then realizes he just threw down his
expensive and favorite bass guitar, and proceeds to nicely arrange it onto its guitar stand before
slumping onto the ground in front of it out of frustration.
Relationship with parents is rocky, and is very much similar to how teenagers are stereotypically
portrayed. Lots and lots of teen angst. Has very little friends, but still has them.
