INT. TITLE SEQUENCE.
The animation starts with a blank page. A few blank sheets of
paper with faint ripple repeat for a second. Then lines start to
squiggle across the page to form the title ‘The Ebullient
Toadstool’. Followed by some thicker lines which form the words
‘By NU’. The title is held on screen for five seconds. The words
then dissipate back into squiggly lines which then form the
character of the TOADSTOOL.
INT. CHARACTER INTRODUCTION.
The toadstool character is seen to be excited and warming up for
something, at this point it is not known what he is preparing for.
There is a faint humming / engine noise to this scene. As the
toadstool is preparing, a small triangle appears in the right side
of the image and starts unzipping a doorway. There is the sound ofa zip un-zipping for this section. The engine hum sound begins to
get louder, now with a heavy wind noise. The toadstool, now in the
left section of the screen becomes ecstatic and gets ready to head
through the door. The toadstool runs toward the door and jumps
out. As he jumps, his shadow disappears from the ground to signify
theres nothing below him to cast a shadow on. The camera follows.
There is a lot of heavy fast wind sound and the engine sound
becomes gradually distant. The camera films as the toadstool turns
around in freefall, allowing the illusion of a fellow skydiver
maneuvering around as they both fall.
INT. PHASE TWO, ENTER THE BIRD.
As the toadstool is falling, a spec begins to show in the shot,
and gets bigger. This spec then comes into view as a BIRD. They
collide, as this happens a love song begins to play, giving the
footage a new perspective and the illusion they are having a slow
dance in mid air. The bird and toadstool separate, the bird flies
off toward the camera bum first, while the toadstool continues to
free-fall. The camera goes back to following the toadstool at
different angles again.
INT. PARACHUTE.
The toadstool sucks his body in to brace himself. He then
stretches back out and his cap flies off, and puffs up into theopening parachute, here there is the sound of flapping fabric made
by the parachute. The gills from under the cap turn into the
parachute’s cables. He goes out of shot as the speed difference
between the cameraman and the toadstool change. The toadstool then
floats into shot with his open parachute, the sound in this
section is less windy, with quite a calm slight flapping material
noise coming from the parachute. The toadstool then flies of
screen again.
INT. LANDING.
The camera shot changes to a more distant shot. The toadstool
appears from the top left side of the screen still with his
parachute. Then the toadstool and parachute separate, the
2
toadstool falling a short distance to a splat, but then forms
himself back into a toadstool. Meanwhile his parachute turns back
into his cap and falls to the side of him with a slight rock as it
lands and settles. The toadstool looks across, pauses, then
summersaults his head back into his cap with a POP. While he is
stool in one piece again the camera zooms to the toadstool, he
does a little wiggle of excitement. END.
