I got rid of the narrator and I tried to concentrate on making it more slapstick. This means I have about 45 new drawings to do. (lucky me) This I will do over the weekend. I have a friend who is going to pose them out for me so I can draw them this weekend. I'll post the final storyboard this week...if I am not too exhausted!
Scene I
INT. Home- late night- Dimly lit room.
[ Tracy is sitting in front of the TV on her oversized couch. Tracy is a young female in her late 20’s. She is of medium build. She has a slightly poochy belly. She is wearing loose pants and an old t-shirt. Her hair is down and slightly messy. It is shoulder length. She is alone with a bag of chips, a soda between her legs and a Tv remote. She is very lethargic, bored, and switching channels. ]
Close up of Tracy slumped in the couch, watching TV. It pans back as she starts switching channels. She stops on an ad that catches her attention.
TV
Tired of always being tired?
Tracy nods
TV
Unfit?
Tracy looks at her belly.
TV
Barely have the energy to change the channel?
Tracy lifts up the channel changer and stops.
TV
Then get off your ass and get to AWESOME FITNESS GYM.
Tracy sits up.
TV
What are you waiting for do it now!!
Tracy Turns of the TV
Fade to Black
INT. Workout Gym – Daytime
[Tracy is wearing work-out clothes and an old t-shirt. Her hair is but in a ponytail. She has a MP3 player on her arm and is wearing headphones. In one hand she has a water bottle and in the other she has a hand towel. Behind her are glass doors that say: Awesome Fitness Gym.]
Tracy looks very nervous as she starts to look around.
Tracy walks to the treadmill and slowly steps on to the treadmill.
She nervously pokes it and then proceeds to start to turn it on.
Tracy turns it on and the machine asks for her weight. Tracy types in 111.
On the display readout the word Liar flashes.
Tracy looks freaked and looks again, but the display simply reads begin workout.
The treadmill starts to go very fast and the start up cause Tracy to stumble forward.
As she starts running Tracy starts to get the hang of it and she smiles.
Tracy’s headphones get tangled in the arms of the treadmill.
Her face hits the face of the treadmill.
Tracy attempts to pull her head forward, but the headphones pull her head down.
Tarcy tries to run with her head stuck on the face of the treadmill.
She pulls her head free, but now her hands are stuck.
She struggles with her hands for a while.
She pulls back, but gets pulled forward.
She pulls back again and she goes flinging backwards with her head phone firmly wrapped around the treadmill.
Tracy pats her now headphone-less mp3 player and sighs.
She tries to go for her headphones, but accidentally hits the speed up button, which causes her to fling backwards.
She falls with her hands on the back of the treadmill.
She starts to run with her hands as she tries to get back up.
She finally gets back up and she starts running again when the treadmill finally stops.
She slams her body hard into the treadmill and she regains composure. She looks at the treadmill with confusion and starts poking buttons when it starts to move backwards and she is sent flying onto her face and her body slides off the treadmill.
There is a loud thud off camera and Tracy gets back on.
She continues to try and run, but the treadmill slows down to a crawl. She stops and the treadmill slides back and forth.
She looks at the camera confused.
She goes to get off, but the treadmill starts up again and her left leg goes flying off to the side.
She grabs on to the rails and the treadmill stops.
She tries to get off when it starts up again. When she puts both feet on the treadmill it stops again. She goes back and forth with this game for a while, when se falls on her butt.
She looks defeated as it slides her towards the front of the treadmill. She stands up and the treadmill goes full force again. She barely reaches the front as she swears she sees it mocking her on the digital read out.
She turns red and starts beating it and pounding on it. Everything fades to white.
She is on the floor next to the treadmill huffing and puffing.
The Gym intercom goes off
Intercom
Attention Gym members… remember a fit body is a happy one!
She sinks to the ground and throws a towel at the camera.
