Story idea (finally).

I've finally settled on an idea. It is going to be something short. It is a small tale of how a cheetah got the streak under his eyes, and a horn on his head.

Scene 1: Looking up through tall grass we see a tree. From our surroundings we can deduce it is in the plains. A cheetah's head pops up and looks around.

Scene 2: The cheetah notices some impalas in the distance.

Scene 3: The cheetah creeps up a little bit.

Scene 4: The cheetah is in the distance moving forward slowly. The impala's head comes up in the foreground after picking up some grass to chew on.

Scene 5: The cheetah starts to run.

Scene 6: The impala notices and as a smart tactic runs towards the cheetah a bit, forcing the cheetah to make a sharp turn, and slowing him down.

Scene: 7: Pan with the two as they run along the planes. The cheetah gains on the impala.

Scene 8: From the cheetah's view the impala is close enough for the final pounce, but at the last second the impala dives off to the side, revealing a tree in front of the cheetah.

Scene 9: The cheetah tries to slow down, but can't stop or turn.

Scene 10: Looking down on the scene there is nothing but dust in the air. Dissolve to evening.

Scene 11: The cheetah opens his eyes. We can see now the dark red streaks under his eyes that weren't there before, and a small lump on his head.

Scene 12: He gets up and walks off. Dissolve to next scene following his movement

Scene 13: A small group of cheetahs (3 most likely) come into view. They all have horns and eye streaks.


Nothing to complex here, just something seemingly fun. I might be omitting scene 3 for the sake of time, and blending a couple together.
