First Scene-

Rudolph walks out of a school house after being teased, he walks to the edge of a snow bank as the north star shines bright. He looks up as a tear falls and says, "Someday". The tear splashes to the ground and starts the opening credits with the song (no words) Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Going through some of the moments in his life leading up to his legendary first flight.

After the credits (about 3 mins) the story opens 6th months after his virgin flight where the story takes place.

No shadows or shading yet this is a test of the snow effects and character walk, will be going back and doing some clean up.
