Notice how they condensed the entire Napoleon Dynamite movie into 30 seconds. Wow! To do so, they had to isolate important scenes, lines of dialog, sound effects, music, and memorable visual moments.

Now, imagine if angryalien.com hired you as a cartoonist or a writer and wanted you to do something very similar for ATTWN. It would be called:

"And Then There Were None in 30 Seconds (and Re-Enacted by Bunnies)"

The entire novel would need to be told in 30 seconds. What would you include for chapter 10?

You may choose to either:

A. Draw a quick series of boxes to show what you'd include, like in a comic strip including dialog, visuals, music and sound. (3 to five cartoon boxes)

or

B. Write the visuals and dialog, music, and sound within a series of quick bullet points. (3 to five bullet points)

Think about the highlights, important and memorable moments that took place at this point in the story.
