[Pre-Visualisation] Cinematic Idea Proposal & Video Referencing

Aaran & Kyle
[30/10/2014]

During our Wednesdays Visualisation lecture, we discussed what we're going to produce for our game cinematic. We talked about either having the intro to our level which consisted of Flynn having already obtained Grimm and talking to him as they enter Voidstone Docks. Another idea was an animatic sequence of an epic battle between our games protagonist (Flynn) and antagonist (Gauss) in Gauss' lair known as 'The Void', this area would consist of a huge virus crystal deposit (Dark crystals) in which Flynn enters in one of the big warehouses. In the end we decided on a cinematic prologue as an intro to the game, the player would walk into a magical room in first person (Through the eyes of Flynn) and would open Grimm, Grimm would then narrate the story alongside 2D visuals.

We plan to start storyboard art as well as 3D content creation for the sequence, we talked about having a Grimm voice actor and we are in the current process of finding one, we considered an elderly person for Grimm as he's an old book. We conducted some initial research and the style of 2D art we wanted to achieve here:
