I had a pretty obvious, yet important realization when it came to writing my script for my animated film. When I was watching the the Soviet-Armenian film "Wow, a Talking Fish" from 1983 I was thinking to myself about how they went about structuring such a visually trippy yet consistent film until I read the comment section where they explained it was based off a Russian folktale. That made me realize that I don't have to box myself into a specific structure of writing when creating a film. A film like this would be based off a very flowery, and poetic style of writing so what exactly was stopping me from doing the same thing? After all, I came from a background of writing in a such style inspired by the Romantic writing movement from the late 1800s. I tested my theory out by imagining these lines flowing then it sparked a series of visuals and a perfect beat to animate each frame to. This helped me better structure out my series of events as well as giving me the idea to have the only speaking line being a narrator that's reading out said poem.
As typing this I am still working on the poem and don't plan on releasing it until after the film is created so I won't spoil it early on. This also inspired me to make the character models for the two main characters since the style of mid 1900s USSR animation is ever so inspiring.
