7. The heroine was dressed in a black and white suit, which was incongruous in the colored rooms.
8. She took a look at the colored building and immediately rushed out of the house. The lady calls the moving company outside the building to come over [the moving company only needs to appear in the picture with a car and an outdoor scene, driving from right to left].

22. The heroine places the colored sweets next to the black and white sweets. At night under the light, the colored sweets are mapped out in a grey room with a colored glow.
23. Many days later, the heroine was smiling and greeting the little boy on the roadside.
24. She would often admire the rainbow-colored sweets at home and decorated her room with little colorful ornaments.

26. The heroine examined the black and white key in her hand, followed by the colorful key next to the colored sweets.

28. The heroine takes her suitcase and moves into the empty black and white room.
29. She looks around the black and white room [the layout is the same as the colored room, but without the decorations], and some colored decorations are flashing for a few seconds [it is the heroine’s illusion, she is starting to miss her once colored room].
30. The heroine waited from day to night, the room was only black and white candy, and the heroine looked at the colorless light in a daze.

35. The protagonist sits on a chair and nods in satisfaction.
36. and filled the decorative tray on the table with colored sweets [colored light shone throughout the room].

Summary of this week:
I finished character design and storyboard drawing this week. Even though I may have had time limits during production, I wanted to produce as full a tale as possible, and KK suggested I try to build a montage of clips, which I thought would be a nice approach to highlight my rendering work and plot. I’ll begin prepping the scene models for creation next week!
