The creature in the water that attacks the native is based off of the Hydra. It lives in the water and usually appears on the surface to feed. Unlike the original mythological beast, this "swamp hydra" does not regenerate it's heads if they are cut off.

SETTING

Image one
The top image is viewed from the west looking to the east. It is the opposite side of the canyon where the first native character is looking towards in the beginning of the story. It is a lush and flourishing forest that is full of life and looks welcoming and peaceful. It is a large forest, so some areas may not be seen in detail like the foreground. For the most part it remains in the background, but it is obvious that this is where the natives want to be at.

Image Two
Below the first image, this one in the middle shows how it looks from the opposite side. We are looking from west to east toward the forest. The ground is punctured with swamp pits and the trees look as if they have been cut down by loggers. Only small weeds grow on this side of the canyon, that and a few pebbles scattered here and about in the image. This does not appear to be a place that is desirable to stay and in fact, some effects to further emphasize the eerie feeling like a fog or a permanent mist would help. Some shadows beneath the waves or even just the tops of the heads of the creatures would work.

Image Three
This is a simple some what of an aerial view on the location that the native girls are at. he blue cross is where the first is located. The second green cross is where the other native girl is. The largest pool is in the northern direction, while the the canyon and the other side that has the forest are on the east. Most of the piece will be viewed in this section. The background will have hills and mountains in a moderately overcast afternoon in a warm climate.

OLD STORYBOARDS

These are the old less detailed storyboard images placed in the correct sequence.

STORYBOARD 2

This is this the order of the storyboard panels with a brief description:

PAGE ONE
panel1 The native female comes to the edge of the cliff and can't find a way over

panel2 She does not notice the emerging beast behind her until...

panel3 ...she turns and sees the smiling lips of the creatures ready to eat her

panel4 From far away her companion takes aim at one of the heads

PAGE TWO
panel5 one of the heads rushes forward and tries to take a bite. Above it's head the arrow which is infused with sorcery pops up behind the head

panel6 The arrow makes contact and it's head explodes

panel7 Other arrows follow in suit as the other heads turn around

panel8 They are also hit by the arrows

PAGE THREE
panel9 Thinking that all is clear the native near the cliff turns her back while the bloody heads sink below the waves

panel10 Another head that has been hiding suddenly pops out and attacks

panel11 Just in time, she turns and cuts the head off at an angle.

panel12 The rest of the body comes out of the pool and falls across the crevice forming a bridge

This a short piece that will not be over 40 seconds in length a the absolute most. This is something like a clip from movie - it's only a small part of something bigger.
