No more bike!

When doing a test run the week before shooting, we encountered a problem with the angle of the bike and the camera. We could not get the bike to sit in the right position, so we made the drastic decision to cut the bike from the film, and re work the story. We wanted to keep the concept the same, a child loosing excitement and imagination as it ages and reaches the adult stages of life. However, without the bike it allowed us to create much more movement in the piece, as the actor was not restricted by the bike being on top of her. After making some minor changes a quick story board was drafted up, instead of the flip on the bike, she would now fly up into the clouds and when she reaches the adult stages of life her wings would fall off and she would fall back to earth, which would now be all gray and boring. The cycle of adulthood would still remain, and at the end it would rain, and as the rain drops touched her, they would create splotches of bright paint on her plain white clothes, explaining that you can still find the excitement of youth in your life, you just need to break from the cycle.
