Balance - Rugah's Hunt - Colorscript

***EDIT*** After crits in class, it was brought to my attention that the last panel simply does not work; it is unclear what is going on due to darkness and it ends with very intense colors that make the viewer think the conflict is not over. This one is much better ^^

This was an assignment from Intro to Animated Storytelling in which we were to create a color script for a 10 minute piece of our stories. My story is 'Balance' and it's about a coyote named Feyn who races against several other animals including a striped hyena named Rugah. The race is a free for all, so Rugah takes it upon herself to eliminate her competition. This is her first encounter with Feyn during the race. She tries to kill him and hunts him down until falling into a hole in the volcanic fields. Feyn leaves her a vine to use to climb out...

The mood here is from carelessness to responsibility. Feyn is supposed to meet his teammate at the volcano, but he chooses to relish the day and take his time instead. He is attacked by Rugah, who shows him that this race is more serious and more dangerous that he originally gave it credit for; it is a mission rather than a fun outing. In the end, he learns to take it seriously and heads to the volcano.

I could write a shit ton more about this, but I'll leave it at that.
