Six Word Stories/We Kissed. She melted. Mop Please!

CONCEPT 1 WRITTEN TREATMENT

Story & Characters
A male character and a female character are formed. They encounter. There are sparkles in their eyes. They immediately fall in love. They kiss. As they kiss, they immerge. There is an abstract visualization of the kiss. It becomes an abstract geometric pattern with some visual representations of chemical reaction. The shapes of characters become abstract. As they become one, they melt. In the end, there is melted ice cream on the floor and a man with ice cream all over his mouth.

Style
The overall concept is to have a feeling of simple illustration or a rough sketch. The piece will have a look of line drawings on the chalkboard, either with bright colors or just black and white. condimentum eu, pretium non, rutrum sit amet, nulla. Proin lacus magna, ultricies at, rhoncus quis, mollis in, odio. Nullam massa. Nunc libero orci, fermentum a, iaculis ac, vestibulum at, augue. Quisque egestas magna at odio. Aenean tincidunt euismod ligula. Fusce dolor metus, bibendum ut, aliquam accumsan, semper id, metus. Morbi dolor justo, elementum eu, tincidunt at, suscipit quis, nibh. Aliquam fermentum, nunc ac posuere volutpat, erat nisi adipiscing lorem, et vehicula leo nunc id est. Phasellus nisl mauris, ornare eu, volutpat quis, dictum eu, dui.

Animation Technique
There will be a lot of keyframing masks for the frames when ice cream melts and two characters immerge together. I will use basic tools such as keyframing position, scale and rotation. I will probably create image sequences, using Photoshop to have organic looks so that the work is not too flat.
