Premise: Fight Sequence

-

 I like the dynamic between Spike and Vicious, which is something I want to incorporate into my fight scene. By having both fighters follow a code of honour, it allows their fight to flow with this idea in mind. I need to identify the moral code my characters follow in order to create a foundation for the fight. I will then be able to determine the actions they would take, given a situation.

The idea of my project is traditional vs technology, which is a theme that I want to be prominent in the world building and character design. In order to depict mans fall to machinery, I want my two characters to be fighting over some sort of object which is the key to granting the user immortality. This is mans last stand against machine and so I want this desperation to be depicted in the action of the Samurai. Is he willing to break his moral code in order to win?

At the same time the cyberpunk side is also desperate to win however this will be depicted in a very different light as the character is more machine than man. For this reason his thoughts will be made up solely from 1's and 0's, leaving no room for human emotions to sway its judgement. This idea also needs to be reflected in the machines code of honour

For the Samurai, his moral code is everything as he has devoted his life to the way of the Samurai. It is the foundation to his beliefs and he will strongly follow his teachings no matter the situation. The cyberpunk side however does not have the ability to recognise such honour. As the man has sacrificed what made him human, he can no longer think for himself. Instead he must carry out his orders in order to obtain the item in question. This difference in character will ultimately be the downfall of the Samurai.

The two will fight in different ways with a different choice of weapon as their specialist. I could also experiment with the size of both characters which can create a interesting dynamic between how the two go about tackling their opponent.

Major Project Submission Post: Reflective Statement + Art Of

  Reflective Statement For Major Project Overall I am really pleased with the outcome of the animation. This is mainly due to me feeling that I was able to include everything I set out to do, all the way from the beginning of Premise. It has been a very long process, with different routes taken in order to bring me to the final product. At times I felt I had set myself a far too large goal to achieve and was unsure that I was able to complete the project within the timeframe. However I kept going and I am proud to say I completed everything to the best of my ability. I believe the key to succeeding in the completion of this project was good time management. Had I not completed certain section in time for the next then I would have run out of time nearer the end of the project.  At the end of the Minor project, I had completed the redesign of my animation story and characters and applied my ideas to create a Pre-viz which depicted the events of the second iteration of the animatic. I th

From Script To Screen: Investigating How Shutter Island Tricks The Audience

-

 In order to understand how to portray my character in a more believable way, I decided to look at similar stories in which the character is an unreliable narrator. A prime example of this is the film Shutter Island.  Shutter Island Plot Summary The film is centred around detective Teddy Daniels as he investigates the mysterious Shutter Island in order to locate a missing patient, Rachel Solando. Teddy is trying to deal with the murder of his wife and has reason to believe Andrew Ladus is on the island as well, the man who murdered her. As the film progresses so does the mystery of not only the missing patient but also the island itself. As Teddy continues his investigation he becomes more and more suspicious of those around him, to the point in which he turns out of control in an attempt to escape their capture. The film ends with the realization that Teddy and Andrew are one in the same and Teddy was submitted to the institute after murdering his wife. The guilt from his time served

Character Bible: Elliot Goh

  Main Characters Man from future  Names for character: Elliot Goh (E.GO)      Man is vain and has a lot of money. For this reason, I feel like he would spend a large amount of his money on himself. This could be by purchasing expensive accessories and clothing as well as spending it on his physical appearance (tattoos, Botox and hair transplant). His deepest desire is to be looked upon as a god, which is how he views the superhero who is protecting his city. He is very envious of the hero as he knows no matter how much money he has he will never be able to compete with the supernatural. His jealousy has corrupted his thoughts and he begins obsessing over the origin of the hero. He throws all of his money into researching superheroes and time travel and dedicates his life researching about every single sighting of the hero.  I want him to look as physically muscular as humanly possible, in order to get across the idea that this is a man who has everything and will try everything in ord
