Gangster Animations & Fairytale Settings ???

Hi!
It's Alexandra,
I picked up the equipment yesterday, as you know, and the weather has been really good, except for gusts of wind. But the shots I'm getting look colourful and stuff, so that's good. So the scenes are been looked at basically, because a lot of the ideas I've gotten up front are actually related to Animation (or Compositing) whereas the Actor (People) things seem to hold a small portion of the Story.
So what I'm really trying to work out, is how to balance the Story, so that the different ideas come through, but it's a complex task I guess. The Characters could really meet anywhere, so the Locations are changing a bit there. I'm thinking that if I'm open with the scenes to some sense, and the Location changed, well then make up for that with the Animation part.
This however would be planned and related to the actual Story, so I'm not sure why I'm not getting it ????
I've got probably enough to think about Animation,  but then I can't resolve the Story, if I still have to get stuff with people.
The Casting I have to admit is a bit muddled, because one of our friends, who was playing the Antagonist (Chocka) is acting a bit psycho, and I would like to maybe get someone older for that role anyway. Then Chocka would be Sacha's father, and it would work for the Story more.
Hopefully we get some dialogue from people, even if I have to keep adding alternate streams, and start adding some talking there. (I mean I could do that anyway, as well.) See why I'm getting confused? Hopefully the answers will come one day!

Here are some photos from the last little batch of photos (still trying to think of some underwater stuff). Anything would be cool...

We've been getting great sunsets, for like the ending of the Film, or a Scene. It could have more meaning I'm starting to think. The really important things only need some recognition, otherwise you might be overdoing a simple idea, yet the Tree outside our window, really seems to be a good idea. (Interesting isn't it?)

Here is my little Teddy. I think he's a cute Character, who you'd see in Daniel's Flat, but for some reason he gets out somehow and witnesses some interesting things himself...

So there you go! Hope the rest of your weekend is eventful, and probably catch up early next week...
Alex :)
