Unfortunately my new WIP is broken and doesn't look much further along than my previous. I created 8 versions of nearly each asset to be animated in photoshop which took the lions share of my work time.
First version of demo reel.

Act. I:
Act one opens with an Indian-Jones-esque pulp adventure character in a lava filled cavern. He his hopping between rock platforms jutting out of the magma. He stops to examine a relic he just found. Suddenly a motherly voice calls from off screen and the scene switches to a small boy jumping onto pillows arrayed out on a living room floor, the whole scene was a play pretend of the boys imagination with the relic as a baseball. He brushes his mom off and returns back to his fantasy except now the scene has taken on the character of a science fiction story, the character is no longer a pulp action adventurer but is a space explorer. He is leaping across the same rock path but now it is over a fetid alien swamp with creeping tentacles. He finally reaches the shore just as the tentacles expose themselves as a hideous predatory alien.
Act II.
Mother calls out again for him to come eat lunch. The scene switched back to the boy and he stands over a tennis racket. He picks it up and the scene switches back to fantasy. The tennis racket has become a beam sword, he turns around to face the encroaching monstrous foe. He rushes into battle and slashes off a tentacle. Mother, increasingly agitated yells at him to come eat his lunch before it gets cold. The scene switches back to reality, he had been battling the drapes. He goes to the kitchen, quickly eats his lunch and rushes back to his imaginary adventure. He returns to his imagination but it has changed into a Arthurian fantasy setting. He has become a knight and his alien foe/the drapes has been transformed into a fierce dragon. He rages into battle and eviscerates the the dragon.
Act III
The dragon has been vanquished but we switch back to reality and the boy has battled the drapes off the wall. A silhouette of mother appears with a body language that says "Your in trouble, little boy."
