after few drafts we have finalized the script…it’s almost similar to the one we posted with the storyboard,jus that we have added more references to alien races…
havn’t put together everything…jus the dialogues…guess that’s all we need…
now it’s time to record them in some alien language…and then enhance them to sound so…(as i said before we’ll be using subtitles).

Thanks for the continuous support and inspiring entries guys!We are done with our entry - Maternity.
Will Soon upload the trailer and making of.

Synopsis:
At some unkown trash planet a conversation between the hybrid human son and the mother from some ancient galactic race, takes a different turn when the son declares he killed his father to claim the trash planet.And now he has come to kill the mother too. The chimp client race suppressed by both the powerful races has got nothing but to witness the whole incident in the dark humour.
The story is loosely inspired by David Brin’s Uplift Storm triology and the point that the illegal colonists in a chaotic trash planet can go to any extenct to claim a place.Since they are talking in some ancient galactic language,we decided to use the subtitles :slight_smile: This is our first ever fully CG production.

Many Thnaks :slight_smile:

I absolutely love it!!

Twisted, eerie, the strange dialect makes it even better.
I’m totally immersed in this weird universe.
Great job with compositing and adding the texture to this cg creation.

I’ll second what grzesiekj said :smiley:

I love the dark, murky feeling you gave it—it suits the characters’ personalities perfectly.

I also like the dynamic between characters…the “moderator” ape-man sitting between the two bickering aliens. And the twist ending was not something I expected! Having them speak alien languages was also a creative touch, that I haven’t seen in any other entries.

Here’s to you succeeding during the judging phase! :beer:


#53

Crazy!! Great work guys! One can’t forget this movie
Very original! Good luck with judging!
Cheers!
BB


#54

I really like your camera movements, and the backgrounds!


#55

Thanks Grzegorz!
We’re really really happy to know you liked it.We really worked hard to get it done.
In the pre-production stage itself the first thing that we talked about was…“to make it look eerie” .Guess we succeded in achieving that.
And yeah we had fun inventing the language.:slight_smile:

Hey Tyson…
Am Soo happy u liked it!(was actually waiting fr ur comment…)Yeah that moderator ape worked really well in the film.He wasnt there initially,but then we thought …wat about putting there a dumb guy,just listening to them! Alien language was really fun to do…

Thanks alot BB!
Good luck to you too.

Thanks Kamcsat,
We’r glad u liked it! We tracked real camera movements to achieve that handheld and different feel to the cameras.Best of luck with your entry!
