APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT
Adobe After Effects.
Main production program, I used it to animate by motion path, collage images and composit assets.
(Screenshot of the final Timeline) (I kept a lot of my files preexported in order to reduce the memory and cpu use and to keep it more organised.)
Fruity Loops Studio
(Creating Door SFX Timeline)
(Animation Music Timeline)
Main Sound Design tool Used to create sound Effects and the music for the animation. I am rather experienced in using this
Adobe Photoshop
Main Graphical program and asset creation tool, I Drew most of assets by hand and then mofified them in photoshop to make them ready to import them to after effects. I decided to use this tool because of its graphical flexibility.
Sorting Files out and organisation:
To keep more organised I sorted all my files by name of what they are of and saved them in in appropriate subfolders: "Out of the Dark sound FX", "Out of the Dark Backgrounds", "Out of the Dark Assets".
Have I met the Risk assessment?:
I kind of did most of the time. I had to take a break ever so often to avoid Desk strain. I didn't bring any drinks to my workstation nor didn't damage my equipment or abuse it in anyway.
Following Production Schedule:
Preproduction:
I started Designing Straight away as the task was given. Took me quite a lot to get things planned out as I wanted but eventually I got there and I managed to create most of my assets already in the process. I was ready to start Hardworking on 15th of June.
Production: I met a lot of hardware caused issues while working with after efffects. Which included Crashes, Errors, Lags, etc. But i finally managed to get there. Sound Design took me a lot of time. 5 times as much as I expected.
Postproduction: Adding the Sound to the animation and finalizing wasn't too bad, I managed to do it in one day.
Hand Animation Test:

Making Backdrops and using them:
Thats how I created the second shot backdrop, I painted it onto a piece of thick paper, scanned it in and then colourcorrected it and animated.
But later I decided to paint some Texture assets instead and create a 3d space in unreal engine which i could use to generate backgrounds and gain more flexibility.
The Textures
Thats how I created the Textures:
I drew them first to get the line and shape I need. And then painted the texture and layed both over each other in Photos
hop and added shadows and other details + colour correction.
PLAN:
Title:
"Dark Flight: The Final - Out of the Dark (animatic)"
Form of Animation:
Game Cinematic Animation, ending of the game.
Animation Technique:
Frame by Frame + Motion Path + Compositing
Genre:
Action, Sci-Fi, Adventure, Survival
Justification in relation to current trends:
First Person shooters are still one of the most popular genres of Video games. Combination of many of those aspects of the game together with sci-fi setting could give a cool feel for the game-animation. also could make the current player-base feel very nostalgic due to the fact these kinds of sci-fi shooters were very trendy 10-20 years ago too. Which makes most of current teen player base experienced in these genres. this game would be made to be as aesthetically pleasing and conceptually pleasing as possible which is very important amongst today games because of technical development and new possibilities. Combining sci-fi shooter with an aircraft game could be an interesting concept as well there haven't been a lot of games like these around recently. Mainly we hear about the game No-man's Sky Which takes the similar path of genre and style and is being rather hyped. I think If Developed right, in an interesting way, the game could become a masterpiece.
Treatment:
Title: The Final: Out of The Dark
Running Time: 01:50+
Synopsis: After completing the game, you find yourself in an abandoned human bunker taken over by the droids. You find the main core and destroy it, this way causing darkness around the facility. you take the opportunity to take the ships and escape the place.
This product is Intended to be a video-game Cinematic Animatic therefore a reference for the game mechanics and game animation. I am going to work with mixed media but however most parts are going to be hand drawn for convenience, others not. It is going to be a victorious ending sequence as you finished the game successfully.
The main characters will be: The Player/Main Protagonist and the second person, a follower/friend of the main protagonist. Who cooperate together. I was considering Having the Characters more like Marines of something of that sort... But i Thought going more Survival and a bit Casual would be a better solution that'd help the player associate themselves with the protagonists.
As The animation doesn't include a a lot if any speech... Voice over wouldn't be necessary, however. I believe there could be a room for some. I think The main protagonist's Voice should be rather some natural medium aged male voice, of a possibly slight American accent. Similarly the other character's voice however i would go for a more deep voice maybe. The Robots do not need a Voiceover because they can communicate without sounds... However it would be nice it they could have a modified human voice or computer generated sounds.

The Final: Out of The Dark
This product is Intended to be a videogame Cinematic Animatic therefore a reference for the game mechanics and game animation. I am going to work with mixed media but however most parts are going to be hand drawn for convenience, others not. It is going to be a victorious ending sequence as you finishe the game successfully.
The main characters will be: The Player/Main Protagonist and the second person, a follower/friend of the main protagonist. Who cooperate together. I was considering Having the Characters more like Marines of something of that sort... But i Thought going more Survival and a bit Casual bould be a better solution that'd help the player associate themself with the protagonists.
As The animation doesn't include a a lot if any speech... Voice over woudn't be necessary, however. I believe there could be a room for some. I think The main protagonist's Voice should be rather some natural medium aged male voice, of a possibly slight American accent.Similarely the other character's voice however i would go for a more deep voice maybe. The Robots do not need a Voiceover because they can communicate without sounds... However it would be nice it they could have a modified human voice or computer generated sounds.
Target Audience:
The Animation is designed to be in a form of videogame cinematics, Yet in a flexible version allowing possible small modifications. It is mainly aimed to be interesting to players who were involved in the game itself and they know whats going on well.
Storyboard for the animation suitable for the character design world:
I will not be using any of copyrighted material and I'will try to produce as much of my content. However the overal finished product (which would be a video game) could receive a content rating.
I predict that content rating for the game would be either for teens or mature audience. Would include violence, crude humour, and mild mature language.

For The Backdrop Designs I have created a 3D space using Unreal Engine and painted Textures. Good thing is i can reuse this model to create several different sets.
Storyboard
Inspiration:
What inspired me for the animation and gave me ideas was mainly my own concept but with some influence of other media products, mainly games and video-games. The main Cinematic Ending Idea and the infinite sidescrolling camera at the end were inspired by Unreal ending Sequences.
The game concept itself its a personal idea that came from inspiration of The Music I created once as this idea developed together with the Music so I could say this game would be rather a piece of art.
It doesn't usually happen that a game production starts from a music composition.
The robot Design Came spontaneously to my mind. But as I developed the idea I thought it would be very interesting to give the robot rather semi-biological feel to them and even make them slightly look like humanoid skeletons. I stumbled across the Necrons from Warhammer 40000 and i was slightly inspired while designing these.
Robot design.
The Necron Warrior.
