Post #11 Continued





Here are some more visual references along with some from previous post #10, mostly Character/Setting

Post #11



Story:
 Our protagonist aims to retrieve a weapon from a guarded facility. She is plagued by the feelings of revenge. She had lost her family during an ongoing war when she was young. She now seeks to gain the power to eliminate those involved.

The film starts on a black screen. A mature female narration starts saying "Only pain and loss await those who seek vengeance." and the protagonists voice replies "I have nothing left to lose," Then the animation starts. The protagonist proceeds down the hall of the facility towards a locked door. She is told by a PA system to halt. She ignores the command and busts through the door to enter a bridged room. On the other side is the weapon she seeks. She makes it halfway, when all of a sudden an assortment of turrets arise. "Stop or we will fire" the PA system says. She takes a step. Firing is let loose. She guards with a holographic-esque field to protect her. Just when it seems like she is about to falter (possibly brought down to one knee), she rises up and explodes her field, destroying the turrets. She proceeds to the weapon and stares into it. You can see the reflection in her eyes. The mature female narrates "There is always something to lose, muahahaha!" Then the video fades to black.

Post #10 Environment references and explanation


 The top 2 images are references for Story #1 (Female) in terms of style, time period, and color scheme (my environment will not be an exact copy). I do think that I may use a more green tint for the scheme as well. The overall gist I would like to get is: Futuristic facility/base.


For Stor #2 (Male) i brought up some references for setting. The interior for the first couple shots will have an environment similar to the middle example, with the modern/futuristic look. The time period is not said, but the viewer should get the idea that it is either an alternate technologically advanced reality, or sometime in the future. The exterior scene will be similar to the first image: a modern building on the side of a cliff. Obviously, I will update the architecture and possible enlarge the complex. The last image is there to help give an idea of the terrain color scheme i would like. Red sandstone cliffs, with either a bright blue sky, or a brownish, red smog atmosphere.
