Because
I had this project in my mind for years, I had already sketched out a
simple screenplay for the work. In order to do this, I merely printed
out the story, and annotated important elements. From there, I broke
down the story into different scenes. It seemed to me, at the time,
like a rudimentary screenplay. After all, my previous animation,
Akutagawa's Rashomon, didn't have much more of a screenplay or
storyboard. I figured that since I have the story in front of me, I
wouldn't need much more detail than that. (This conception changed
much later, and I did actually develop a screenplay that was much
more detailed than any other that I've written or worked with before;
but I'll get to that much later.)
This
annotated story must have been done more than a few years ago. From
there, I didn't return to the project for a long time.
(In
fact, I have many such projects that are on the so-called back
burner, waiting to be further developed and fleshed out.)
