In a small-group session, generate a suite of early concept artifacts for the animation script. Create quick brainstorm documentation (quantity over quality), produce concept sketches or storyboards for several narrative directions, build a feasibility/impact matrix evaluating each concept against the themes of hope and community relevance, and select the top three concepts with clear rationales. Incorporate feedback from peers and the Southwestern College partner to refine ideas and prepare for the next phase of prototyping and script development.
