For my final film I am going to be making a live action film with CG animation composited in. This will be the story of an apocalyptic future in which a wandering survivor must collect points to be allowed access into a Utopian city. These points are gained by hunting and killing futuristic military drones.
There is a western tone to the costume and atmosphere. The character sees the Utopian City on the horizon. He then encounters another survivor to add some conflict for stealing each others points. This gives me some more room to have a character arc as they could end up having to work together to defeat the drones. But the premise is basically an action fight scene between the main character and 3 (probably) drones. There will be a struggle to win, with many different gadgets and weapons used giving me many opportunities for a range of effects.
I am collaborating with others based on their strengths. My girlfriend, Joanna will be creating the costumes for the two characters. Alex will be storyboarding my film. Bach will create the concept art and designs for the drone, and then Dan will model and rig that in Maya. I have a music student from LCOM to do the score. I need to cast two actors for the main two characters.
For live briefs; I have one planned and in the works with another student from LCOM. I am creating a 360 atmospheric animation to work in a google cardboard headset for an art installation about dreams. I am currently experimenting with the logistics of how to get it to work but I think it will be fun and interesting.
I am also planning to do at least 1 D&AD brief, though none have really jumped out at me yet from an initial look through the briefs, I will have to have another look. I will then also find some competitions or something to do effects for.
