CgTalk Daily Sketch 1922 NTL STORYBOARDS "Queen of the Rocketmen"


#1

BTW For those who want to skip this I posted TWO topics today…

First go to this Modeling thread:
Queen Of The Rocketmen: Winner!

[u]Why we need help?[/u]
[b][/b]We will be doing some storyboards for the next fxwars challenge.
Becuase of the extreme complexity of the challenge I want to provide some pre-production boards to all participants to help them & inspire them.

Here is a nice Storyboard TEMPLATE for those who wish to use one.

WHAT IS THE FXWARS?

FXWARS is our ongoing visual effect challenges of the CGTALK forum. The idea is to PUSH what can be done in terms of visuals.
Click here for some cool eye candy: FXWARS Forum

We have done 26 challenges so far.

Ok what is the challenge about?

Well the participants will be able to do a fully CG fx sequence based on the idea of the Queen of the Rocketmen.

The type of entry will be either
[ul]
[li]SINGLE SHOT[/li][li]FULL SEQUENCE[/li][/ul]Some ground rules:
[ul]
[li]if you are doing a storyboard, keep in mind that people might use your boards for filming.[/li][/ul]Ok what can I do now?
Well we are giving a LOT of leeway for artists & concepts artists to post concept art/ storyboards based on the aftermentioned rules .

If you have an idea for a sequence or some concept art post it on this thread. I will later post some possible scenarios…
My advice, KEEP IT SIMPLE

The rest of this post is the same OLD rules:

You have No Time Limit for your sketch. IF you go beyond the assigned time limit , you have to post WHATEVER you have done after the time has expired, along with the FINAL drawing.
NEW RULE: You may also re-post a copy of your finished drawing a this forum:

They must have been done AFTER the topic has been announced.[/li][li]RESOLUTION : The image can have any aspect ratio up to 800 x 600[/li][li]They can be done on any medium.[/li][li]If you wish, you can add a brief text description about your piece.[/li][li]Only original compositions.
