Seq. 1650A - "Lost in the Everglades"
DRAMA, COMEDY
Nacha (renamed Gabi in the film), a precocious ten year old, and Vivo, a melodious kinkajou monkey from Cuba, paddle a life raft through the Everglades on their way up to Miami. En route they pick up Dancarino, a pesky spoonbilled crane who offers to guide them through the swamp in exchange for love advice.

Seq. 1650B - "Got No Game"
SONG SEQUENCE
Homely Dancarino bemoans his lack of luck with the ladies in this Lin-Manuel Miranda song. I designed this musical sequence as the antithesis to "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid; Vivo is a less supportive version of Sebastian Crab, while the swamp critters are too busy fighting for survival to join in.

"Got No Game" Script Pages
More lyric sheets than script pages, the visuals for this song sequence were wholly entrusted with the story artist. Lin-Manuel Miranda's trademark hip-hop style of verse writing provided a plethora of descriptives to glean ideas from. I avoided hard cuts, opting instead for fluid transitions from scene to scene.
