2. Introduction  Design Question:  How can I visually represent the book “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan”?  Concept:  An animatic of the Opening Scene—would allow for me to see how well the script conveys both the setting and time period visually.

3. Background & Research  The Animatic is based on 2 things:  The book “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan”: A story about a lifelong friendship between two women in China during the 1800’s.  The adaptation I had written for the screen.
