2. Back Shot - Baby Blue hears a car coming and stops walking to turn around and look at the car. BB sticks his hitch hiking thumb out as he turns to face the Car. Just as he turns the car speeds by blowing a giant gust of wind and dust into BB’s face. As the car passes it comes to a screeching stop in the background behind the little yeti. 2.1. Brett, steps out of the car in cowboy boots.

4. Brett and Baby Blue on the road. This is the young yeti’s first time ever being in a car. The young yeti is full of curiosity and amazement. (It would be nice to get some camera mounts to have shots looking in from the hood of the car. I also plan to shoot tracking shots from the back of a truck). 4.1. Shots of the car driving down the open road. A couple of montage driving shots. 4.2. Brett tries to stay focused on driving but he is amazed at how human-like this little creature is. Baby Blue is like a well behaved 8 year old child. SEYMOUR PICTURES
