THE PLOT

A man (George) who speaks only his own made up gibberish language encounters a barista (Rob) who can some how understand his nonsensical speech. The forces of change will test their friendship when a mysterious woman (Cindy) enters the scene and alters George’s path. The coffee shop is also sold to a mysterious new owner putting Rob’s job in jeopardy. Will their friendship stand against the forces of change?

“Barista Gibberish” is a silly and worm sit-com style cartoon that will leave you with a smile in your heart.

FROM CONCEPT TO SCRIPT

“Barista Gibberish” was the very first animated production for RealSketch Animation and was largely a learning experience. With the desire to create a sit-com style story about a gibberish speaking character, the original concept would see George driving a cab and struggling to understand the directions given to him by his passengers. Through the discovery of the writing process the story would later be set in a coffee shop. This change of scenery would allow George to be surrounded by a group of characters who would each have their own way of interacting with him. This change would also create a wormer setting for the main character and allow him the opportunity to forge friendships in a more social environment.

Upon completion of this first animated project, the hope was that in a diverse and divided world, this silly little cartoon would leave it’s audience with a new found understanding of those who look, act and sound different. Ultimately, the goal of this project was to highlight that having respect for others can benefit us all.
