Written Treatment
Aegis, a superhero created by a military experiment who has been sent back in time to stop the very military scheme that created him, has been foiled in his first attempt at thwarting the experiments. Unable to explain his actions, Aegis, is on the run from the might of the US military. After making his way into the city Aegis uses is super agility to scale the rooftops in an attempt to escape the military helicopters.
Frame 1. A black screen with audible footsteps and bated breath in the background
Frame 2. Reveals motion blurred feet moving at a fast pace.
Frame 3. Cuts back to black while the audible footsteps continue.
Frame 4. Reveals Aegis moving at high speed leaping over obstacles, making use of his super agility. (fast paced orchestral music begins)
Frame 5. Cuts to a front view of Aegis looking over his shoulder dodging gunfire from an unknown source (bullets ricochet around him).
Frame 6. Maintaining the same camera angle Aegis crouches in front of the camera as an anticipation to a jump
Frame 7. Reveals a rooftop with a large building in the background (the music cuts out to the sound of wind and feint echoes of a busy metropolis).
Frame 8. The camera zooms in slightly showing Aegis' mighty leap from the anticipation in frame 6 (music continues)
Frame 9. Lands with huge impact giving massive camera shake and causing debris to fly up around him.
Frame 10. Dramatically looks down the camera lense then cuts to black
Project Overview:
I decided to base my character and story board on an animation I have been wanting to create for a while. That being; a short action sequence based upon the idea that a super hero is running away from a perusing helicopter. However, other than the fact that the hero was going to have super agility and super strength, I had not decided on what that character might look like. So here are a selection of sketches I did to try and find the look I wanted.
This is a very sharp and clean styling. I did like it, however, I wanted something a little more 'gritty'.
I was quite keen on this sketch, but I felt as though that was mostly from the posing. However, it did give me an insight into how I could use poses to drive the staging of my story board to keep things dynamic.
This is more towards what I was looking for, exaggerated musculature that is typical of a comic book hero.
This was an early character sculpt created in zbrush that I created to explore a character in all dimentions. I really liked the proportions and the anatomy was relatively accurate however, I wanted something a little more typical.
