Cat's Tale Pilot Animatic

Arsis and Astrophy are two cats on a dare contest, each trying to get the other to retreat.
I composed and wrote the song but wouldn't have been able to get a live recording without:
Sivan Levi- Animation
Doron Tauber- Astrophy
Liron Melki- Arsis
Yehonatan Sher Lipschists- Viola
Ori Ozeri- Guitar


The script goes as follows:
Astrophy(smiles): "Then I'll show you"
(music begins in the background, just soft percussion)
Arsis: "Show me what?"
Astrophy(to herself):"Surely, he won't make it even half way through"
(She jumps back to the rooftops, looking back at him)
Astrophy:"Or maybe you're too scared?"
(Arsis takes a moment before jumping right after her, silently. Pitched instruments join in for a sec before they start singing, walking over the rooftops)
Astrophy(completely confident):
 I don't believe you have the skill
 to even catch a bird.
 Speak not of walking near the stream
 one drop and you will melt.
Arsis (not as confident, trying to get her to retreat):
 One drop just will not be enough
 I wouldn't feel no fear.
 But just look at your shaking paws
 Shouldn't we two stay here?

Astrophy: You look so scared!
Arsis(to himself): We should have stayed.
Arsis (to Astrophy again): No matter what you (do)
Astrophy: This thing is not for (you)
Arsis: Back off or (+Astrophy) just admit you’re afraid! 

(both talk to themselves)
 Astrophy: The boy seems brave enough, maybe I should count it?
(she looks over the narrow rooftops) but we've come too far already...
 Arsis: It doesn't seem as if she's about to give up (looks around as well) there must be a way to escape this mess...

Astrophy:
 What is it dear have you got doubts?
 Is this fight worth it all?
 These roofs just get more thin and sharp
 You wouldn't want to fall... 
Arsis (teasing back, she gets angrier as he goes on):
 I hear surrender in your voice
 seems like I won this game...
 Why won't you jump aside for now
 and let me have the fame?

Astrophy (sick smile): Don’t like your head? Oh that’s too bad...
Arsis: No matter what you (do)
Astrophy: This thing is not for (you)
Arsis: Back off or (+Astrophy) just admit you’re afraid!

(They come across the waterside, Arsis freezes) 
Astrophy (smiling): What happened? Are you afraid of the water?
Arsis (Reassembles): Come on, show me, what's holding you back?
(Astrophy looks over to the water. From this height it doesn't seem inviting)

(The music build as they move in circles around one another, try to make the other retreat just by looking at them)

Astrophy: You seem a little pale...
Arsis: Look at your shaking tail...
Both: If you came so far- why won't you jump down, or maybe you just know you will- (fail)
(The edge breaks and both fall)
