Final script

The Diver - Vinni

Vinni’s wife and kids have been taken from him by a very dangerous man (Tony). The reason for this is that Tony has heard rumors of a mystery ship that had sunk along time ago carrying a lot of treasure. He piled the mission on the diver to find this ship. When the diver finds the treasure, he gets his wife and kids back. This animation will show the part when the diver finally realizes where the treasure is.

Beach, Day

The animation starts with Vinni looking at an old picture of his family.

‘sobbing’

Beach, Dusk

The drama begins; this scene starts very calm and then bursts with the trike flying up into the air leaving a sand dune.

‘Sea side’ ‘trike engine’

‘Dramatic music kicks in when Vinni appears’

The second scene is the trike driving towards another dune just at the edge of the water.

‘Engine driving away’

Vinni jumps the dune and leaves the Trike in mid air showing his Speed boat underneath him floating in the water.

‘Shouting’

The Trike crashes into the sea.

‘Splashes’

The next scene is showing the speed boat on its own and then suddenly vinni landing on it.

‘OUCH’

Ocean Dusk

The last scene is Vinni speeding off from the coastline towards the sunset.

'Dramatic music stops with a loud beat'

Evaluation on concept art

The first piece of concept art I created was built up of simple layers. I started my research on Hawaiian sunsets. Then I picked out all the separate colours in the one picture. The land and sea were very dark and in shadow. Then you have this eye catching, bright orange sky. Gradients of red and yellow can represent blood, passion and anger. I created this scene in Photoshop. I had trouble with my character in this piece because a lot of it is in shadow. I then decided to have my character bursting through the sky on his Motor Trike.

The second piece of concept art was my character facing down at the picture of his family. I placed the view point at the back of his head so the audience know it was my character because of his Mohawk. I didn’t want to show his face because it gives sympathy to the character by showing his family. This possession is all he has and he needs them back. I darkened the border to represent that there anger and fury closing down on the character. The research I used for this piece was my self. The main part of this picture is the back of his head and seeing as I have a Mohawk, I took a picture of me to get the right proportions.

The third piece of concept art is my character facing away from the ocean. His body stance is not everyday stance. He is thinking and still shocked about his family. He is confused. I first started with his outline then shaded the muscles and dark areas of his body. Then I added every feature to him. I also created 3 other body poses of the character as you would for an animation or game character.

I also designed my two pieces of transport with a good quality illustration on Photoshop.

Chike

The Trike I designed was in the style of a Chopper and a Motor Trike so I named the vehicle Chike.

Storyboards

All my story boards are now complete. The first aspect ratio I did was 600 by 400 pixels. This seemed like a good size for my animatic. Then I realized that the animatic was to be shown on a cinema screen so I changed the aspect ratio to  23.5.1.

concept art

I have now completed my concept art for different scenes my charecter would be in. I will also include some of these in my storyboards.

boat developement

I started with drawing a large speed boat. This wasnt very exiting for my annimatic so I made the boat alot smaller and made it look like it was a toy instead of an ordinary boat.

Coventry transport museum

I visited the museum on the 14th. I took pictures of all the bikes and most of the other vehicles. I stuck them all into my research sketch pad and annotated them.

Coventry transport museum

I had planned to visit the museum last week but due to the weather I was unable to go. I plan to go in 2 days,  the 13th january.

sketches

I am animating a quad bike and a speed boat. I have been developing different types of quad bikes and I have decided to give it 3 wheels.  

Christmas holidays

Over the christmas holidays I have finished my transport and environments research. I have also drawn up my first set of storyboards and completed a concept illustration.
