In week four, I decided on my primary concept, a 3D animated short film titled “Magic Potion.” This is a 3-minute short film project that I hope can be completed in collaboration with others, but I would still like to consider the possibility that I will need to complete this project on my own, so I will also make two plans, one for the collaboration and one for the individual.
MAIN IDEA ( magic potion)
In this week, I have created a storyboard for the entire narrative, and there may be some minor adjustments, such as replacing the lizard character with a small black cat. Also, my scene is currently set in a fantasy forest, and I’m still deciding whether to move it to a magical room.

IDEA 02 （the black cat）
This idea is actually combined with the idea of the animated short film, in which the character of the black cat will appear as the witch’s pet, exhibiting humorous and exaggerated movements and behaviors.

IDEA 03 (ghost partners)
In the story, a small pink ghost spots a dejected blue ghost sitting in a corner. She approaches him curiously and learns that he had a conflict with his father over his dream of becoming a sailor. The father is concerned about his son living an unstable life at sea, but the blue ghost is determined to follow his heart.
The pinkghost encourages him to pursue his dreams and suggests that he talks to his father and explains how much it means to him. The two ghosts start playing a sailor game together and have fun.
Overall, the story promotes the message of pursuing one’s dreams and encourages communication and understanding between parents and children.
