After deciding in locations and character outlines, we have decided to each write some draft scripts. We plan to have story boards and animator created by the end of this week.
Skit 1
EXT. Cave, Sunset
A news reporter (Bob) stands to the left of the frame. A group of cave people can be seen standing around a pile of wood bashing rocks together.
Bob: Good Evening, it's coming up to 2000 bc at 5:30pm and I am here witnessing what we believe to be the invention of man made fire.
The news reporter looks back to observe the group, as they do a stone strike lights the wood and creates a fire. The group begin to jump up and down with joy.
Bob: Well there you have it folks the... the um... uh.
Just as Bod attempts to finish the story one if the cave people lifts a piece of the fire wood and holds it close to their face causing their hair to catch alight. The cave person throw the wood into the air, hitting another person causing them to catch alight. The group bump into each other causing them all to have a piece of hair or clothing on fire. They begin to frantically run up and down yelling.
Bob: I uh.. well... I'm Bob Wright and this has been science discovery news.
Bob signals for the cameras to be cut. Just before the screen goes to black one of the cave people runs behind Bob screaming with their hair alight.

Skit 2
News Reporter stands next to a trio of mayan people, the are huddled in discussion.
N: Good afternoon, it's 1000 b.c. and I'm here with a group that think the have predicted an peculiar event called the "Solar Eclipse", In which the moon will pass in front of the sun and leave us in complete darkness.
The trio nod in excitement. The sun begins to disappear and the group look up shielding their eyes slightly.
N: So, how long will this eclipse last then?
One member if the group looks up with a panicked look
M: Oh well... we hadn't really thought about that.
The group are now in darkness and all that can be seen are their eyes. The trio blink for a moment. Then they begin to panic, running around and smashing into things. Suddenly the light from the sun appears. Two of the trio are hugging each other tightly screaming, they open their eyes and quickly jump apart, one pushes the other and brushes their clothes off. The third of the trio can be seen shaking in fear on the ground. They also open their eyes jump up and laugh.
M: Ah see nothing to worry about.
News reporter looks to the camera and sighs.
