Rapunzel Nabunzel

"Rapunzel Nabunzel" is a production made from home and without financing that took 6 years of two-handed work, in charge of writing the script, composition, animation, backgrounds, musical composition, production, editing and the interpretation behind the microphone of two characters main and some secondary.
There was only collaboration in the sound section, by having the voice of several voice actors (professionals, in training and amateurs) who were in charge of sounding the rest of the characters.

Given the crazy scale of the project, and after finishing all the sound (voices and music), par of the work of the first 4 years was invested in a humble animation that was only enough to give life to about 25 minutes of footage. After exhaustion, the rest was finished in animatic/storyboard, in order to show the "picture" of what the full movie would have been like.

SYNOPSIS

In a far away village, a young married couple waits for their first child. Emilia, the woman, has a demanding craving for turnips that pulses her to press her husband to go stealing rampions in the neighbor's vegetable garden. She is, in fact, a witch.
The guy accepts the mission after an amount of objections, but when he is taking the rampions, he is caught by Charnot, the witch, whom he tries to explain the situation. Charnot agrees to give him the turnips, but with the non-negotiable condition of giving the baby to her, after this one's birth. Thus, Charnot becomes the mother of the baby, a girl she calls Rapunzel Nabunzel.

The witch wants to bring up her god-daughter apart from the non-sensible habits of society, and to accomplish this purpose, she locks her in a CGI tower that is lost in the middle of forest, which has no stairs nor door. Its only one entry is a window, and Charnot can get access to it climbing Rapunzel's kilometric hair, what has never been cut out.

One day, some years later, in the distance, a young horse-rider hears a song in the forest. The singer is no other that Rapunzel, and guided by the sound of her voice, the young man discovers the tower, the maiden and the witch who is keeping her locked.

In this way, prince Eivano and Rapunzel Nabunzel become lovers in secret. But this secret cannot last forever, and Rapunzel must acquire the value to determine if she wants to leave her usual life and come to outer world, or, on the contrary, keep been there, sure, but locked.
