You are to select a scene from a Star Wars film, TV series, or video game, and produce a 30 second animated sequence based on that scene.
The assignment is in two parts.
Assignment 1 – Weeks 1 – 6
You are to produce a mood board, research board and storyboard. From your storyboard, you are expected to model at least three artefacts which will star in your sequence. You should also show three different specific modelling techniques, ie lathe, chamfer, boolean etc.
Assignment 2 – Weeks 6 – 12
You will now continue to make your trailer incorporating your models and animate them within an environment. You are expected to make use of three animating techniques such as reactor, morphing, fly through, key framing etc.
First I would like to do insted of star wars a scene from a novel from the sci-fi wolrd of Warhammer 40k.The book is called Soul Hunter writen by Aaron Dembski-Bowden published by Black Library, you can find it here: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod630014a
On a later post I will do a review of the book and the world of warhammer 40k.
For now the 30 second I want to do are:
{The blood angel dreadnought still twiched as it layed on its back. its claw opened and closed, grinding nothing but air. Talos nodded to the sarcophagus, too pained to point.
"cut that open".
Xarl and Cyrion went to work with their chainswords, carving through the coffin"s surfance,
the tearing teeth offering no respect for the funerary declarations and acid etched glories depicted in Baalian glyphs. With grunts of effort, the two warriors hauled the sarcophagus's
lid away, revealing the pilot within.
Their blades had ruptured the inner coffin. Clear amniotic fluid, blood pinked in patches,
seeped from the pierced box in sloshing trickles.
Talos stepped on the downed dreadnought"s hull,looking down at the limbless, augmented wreck of a human being.
"I am Talos of the Nightlords. Nod if you understand me."
the slain hero nodded, skin tightening in doubtlessly painful spasms as his life support interfeeds failed. Talos smiled at the sight.
" Know this, Blood Angel. Your final mission was a failure. yoour brothers are dead. we will wear their armor in battle against your false Emperor. And know this also,champion of the
IX Leagion. Twice now, the sons of the night Haunter have seen you slain. Greet the afterlife withion the warp knowing you were to weak to triumpoh over us,even once".
"your bones will be made into trophies for our armor. we will feast upon your geneseed. And what ever remains of this glorious walking tomb will be salvaged by our tech-priest to house a champion of our own legion.
He plunged the blade down. its golden lenght stabbed through the casket, impaling the mutilated Imperial hero's open mouth.
"die", Talos finished,"with the taste of your chapter's eternal failure on your tongue".
A very quick description:
The scene takes place on a massive space ship, so big that it has areas unknowk to the crew. our scene is in a dark abandon hangar of this ship.The stars of the scene are 4 evil marines and a enemy robot contaignig a cripled warrior hooked on life support systems within the machine. The robot has lost the fight and is now on its back falfuntioning. Two of the warriors open up the sarcofagus and the leader of the unit has a small talk then stabs the cripled enemy marine in the head with his power sword.
Here are some pictures.
