THE SEVEN TOWERS
THE CONCEPT:
IN the GREAT KINGDOM of GAIA there are 7 remote Towers that posses great mystic power.
They are:
BOREAS - Ice Glacier Lake,
PSAMATHE - Sand Desert,
EUDORA TOWER - Rain Forest,
TRITON TOWER - Open Ocean,
AKHERON TOWER - Swamp,
ANEMOI TOWER - Canyon,
PHAUNOS TOWER- Temperate Forest
And the legend tell us that there are 3 lost towers:
HEPHAISTOS - Volcano tower of Ancient Weapons
CHRYSUS - Lost City of Gold
ATHENA : City of Ancient Knowledge
Show us at least ONE of the towers and its environment.
The entry with the best VISUAL EFFECTS will be selected by an open vote.
The winner will get bragging rights and a small banner designed by me.
DATELINE:
November 31 12:00 PM
(You have TWO MONTHS to do the challenge.)
TYPES OF ENTRY:
You may do one of these types of entries:
MATTE PAINTING
The whole shot can be a Matte Painting (link for info) animated in After Effects.
COMPOSITE
Get some friends shot them in front of a green screen. even better shoot a cool background plate. Show us your composite skills.
FULL CG SHOT
This is the type of entry that would be used to showcase an establishing shot on a live action film of this tale.
You may use the provided models (and models you submit) to create an entry. The core requirement for this type of entry is to have fun.
But keep in mind the key thing that I expect to see in all entries is shots that have a high level of realism .
CHALLENGE SPECIFIC RULES:
No work taken DIRECTLY from an existing tutorial. You may use an existing tutorial only for reference.
You may use a pre existing model(or use any of the models provived) , as long as you give credit to the creator. If you cant model, use simple shapes, since we are interested in the Final VFX shot. (But teams are encouraged, and if you are a modeler, you can make your model available)
VOTING:
The best single shot/sequence will be selected by an open vote.
