Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, isthe leader of Halloween town! But he has grown tired of his job and the Halloween holiday. So, he takes himself and his ghost dog, zero, on a walk into the deep dark forest.
- I! Jack! The Pumpkin King! Have grown so tired of the same old thing..
- Jack is amazed at what he found! He is so curious that he wants to open a door. So, jack looks to his right and finds the door with a tree on it. Jack doesn’t know of any holidays other than Halloween, so he opens the door just to take a little to peek inside. But as he does, Jack is sucked into the door and disappears.
- ZEERRRROOOO!!
- What's that over there in the distance Zero?
- But at the end of the pathway of the forest, Jack notices a light flashing at him in his peripheral vision. Jack has only walked this deep into the forest once and he has never seen the lights before. But Jack’s absolute threshold has achieved the level where he noticed the lights 50% of the time.
- As Jack is sucked down the hole, he begins to smell chocolate! He hears bells! And he even sees white powder that he gets closer to as he is falling. Jack’s sensation is receiving all the energies from these stimuli and processing them as well! This is possible by Transduction! This is the process of converting the energies into neural impulses which will be sent to Jack’s visual cortex.
- Wow Zero! These green trees look so silver because of the moon tonight!
- As jack and zero are walking, Jack notices there is a quarter moon tonight shining on the forest. Jack looks at the trees and notices that the moon has made an illumination of light on the trees and the image on Jack’s retinas makes him see the trees as a silver color now. But the color constancy principle ensures Jack that even though the color of the tree is illuminated by the moon, the tree’s real color is green.
- What's this? There's colors everywhere! What's this? There's white fluff in the air!
- As Jack hits the ground, he lands softly on some snow! He looks up and at first, he is confused at where he finds himself but gets up quickly and begins to explore!
- Sorry Mister! We are just having a snowball fight!
- After Jack has been exploring, he comes across a giant sled that he spots 20 feet away from him. Jack immediately falls in love with the sled and sprints to it. But as Jack is running, his selective attention only to the snowboard caused him to fail to notice the little children having a snowball fight right near the store. And of course, Jack gets hit in the eye with a snowball!
- Ouch! What was that?
- When the snowball lands on Jack’s eye, he seems to have a hard time opening up his left eye, so he decides to keep it closed as he is still trying to walk toward the sled. Once he gets to it, Jack tries to use his one eye to admire the sled, but the blind spot in his eye prevents him from seeing the words on the right edge of the sled!
- Awww, I guess I will have to wait until I can see out my left eye.
- As Jack is enjoying the town, he receives greetings from the townspeople! And he doesn’t even notice that his sensory adaptation kicked in when his sense of smell adjusted to the odor of chocolate!
- Welcome to Christmas Town!
- Jack is overwhelmed by the feeling he gets when he is in Christmas Town, and he walks over to the edge of town to see what else was behind it. But as he approaches the edge, he looks down and feels immediate fear because his depth perception tells him that there is a cliff below and that he should not take any more steps, or he will fall.
- As Jack turns around, he hears bells ringing at what seems like the same frequency. But jack’s difference threshold allows him to find the just-noticeable difference between the two sounds and he recognizes that the sound on the right is the louder one.
- Oh! maybe I should go follow that bell! Maybe it will lead me to the leader of Christmas Town!
- As Jack is trudging through the snow, he walks past a home, and he notices a man in a red and white suit. And then the figure-ground principle kicks in when the man becomes the figure that he focuses on, and everyone in the background becomes the ground.
- Hello Jack! My name is Santa Claus! Leader of Christmas Town!
- As Jack approaches the man, he introduces himself as Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King. Then the man smiles and introduces himself.
- Jack Is surprised and is happy to find another leader of a town just like him! He is curious about Santa’s life, and he demands for Santa to tell him more!
- Santa, Who are some other people who live in your town?
- To answer Jack’s question, Santa turns Jack around and shows him the inside of his workshop! Inside are Santa’s helpers both boys and girls. And Jack groups them into two groups: boy elves with shirts on and girl elves with dresses on.
- These are my elves Jack!
