THE CHALLENGE:
Imagine you have been comissioned to do a intro cinematic based on the aviation world of the 1930
A world of danger advanture, air pirates, zepellins and crazy air machines... (similar to the Indiana Jones universe, but where Jet packs, giant air machines and robot hechmen are a reality)
Join us as the Queen of the Rocketmen and her band of merry men fight the evil air pirates in the air above the South Pacific.
Color palette:Good Guys (Light browm, Gold)
Bad guys (Black, dark blue, Purple Silver)
The entry with the most creative sequence will be selected by an open vote. The winner will get bragging rights and a small banner designed by me.
DATELINE:
Monday December 2 12:00 PM
(You have TWO MONTHs to do the challenge.)
TYPES OF ENTRY:
You may do one of these types of entries:
SINGLE SHOT Entry
Imagine a single shot from an adventure movie.
It can be something as simple as an airship blowing up.
FULL SEQUENCE Entry
Imagine a movie trailer or a a game intro...
Both types are
Freeform
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.
You can do it as simple or as complex as you wish.
For examples You can do shots with character animation
OR
shot that only have vehicles and airships on them
like Blimps takng off a secret base or Airships coming down in flames..
For ideas you may want to check the provided concept art, models & Storyboards for story ideas (and if you use one of their story ideas you have to give credit to the creator of the asset)
But keep in mind the key thing that I expect to see in all entries is pure creativity and good storytelling.
Before it gets posted: We will do a more "normal" challenge AFTER this one
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 simulation. (But teams are encouraged, and if you are a modeler, you can make your model available)
You may provide a heavily edited animation with all the trimmings (hell add live action if you want), as long a you provide another PLAIN animation of a side view of the working ANIMATION of the vehicle .
Voting:
NEW RULE! The best single shot/sequence will be selected by an open vote.
BEST ANIMATION
The winner will get bragging rights and a small banner
designed by me.
