Gathering the pieces
In an effort to avoid the embedding issues I’ve been having with Vimeo (giving me a text link instead of actually embedding the video into the page) I uploaded the pieces of what will become the finished animatic/ teaser trailer thus far.
The portion above will be the beginning, and will introduce the main character as the end of his journey to this monumental tower thats filled to the brim with the enemies hes sworn to defeat. He stops at the edge of the surrounding city and is attacked, at that point he retaliates which faded into the next scene where hes entering into the actual castle.
The weakened and helpless townspeople who populate the area closest to the tower watch as he enters. Since its been suggested that I redesign the tower to be more foreboding and menacing, I’m changing the townspeople into more beasts and monsters who are too scared to stop the main character.
After an upward panning shot the scene changes to his first confrontation with the “spirit of balance” who has become trapped within the tower. They trade blows, the spirit expels blades from its body which the main character dodges. He then backflips and fires his guns which leads into the fight with the spirit of destruction, a fiery lava monster that uses a stone shell. The destruction spirit takes in air and fires its flamethrower which the main character dodges and fights against, breaking the spirits stone shell and releasing it. There will be two more fight scenes with the spirits of greed and fear.
This portion will serve as the middle of the piece, and features the beginning of the battle with the final villain.
The very end of the piece will be a continued battle between the main character and the villain and will also shed a a little light onto the significance of the tower and the state of the character’s world.
