*UPDATE* Mass Effect Animated Short
9 years ago
General
UPDATE
So after talking to someone they recommended I cut the animation from 6 min to 3. Issue with that is I’ve started adding more story to it, so I can’t cut anything. But maybe I’m thinking about this wrong. Because of that I decided to change it from an animation to an animatic.
That’ll free up a LOT more time....I hope. I’ve also altered the story a bit.
New summery.
“Revvi and her boyfriend Matthew, are shown to be very close as well as a great match. One day Revvi is requested at the Citadel Presidium. She is greeted by an older female turian named Julicar Vrol (who is a high ranking political/military figure for the turians). Vrol request that Revvi hand in her omni-disk to the turian military.
Of course Revvi refuses but as the conversation continues Vrol makes mention that her gangster daughter was killed at the hands of a very specific bounty hunter. Exclaiming that she isn’t one for revenge Vrol does make mention of ‘poetic justice’.
Having enough of military people for one day and leaves. As she heads back home she notices and update to the bounty bored: Three Million credits for a human boy named Matthew, Revvi’s boyfriend!
Will Revvi and Mathew be able to escape the Citadel with every bounty hunter and C-Sec officer after them?”
I feel this this is a more interesting plot than the ‘I will find you, and I will kill you” Taken plot. Now there will only be about 4 maybe 5 characters. That’s my limit. This project has to be doable before the Release date of Mass Effect Andromeda.
There might be more changes while developing it at work. But until then...
...what are your thought?

If you're trying to make a deadline this may be a bit complicated as a story. If you just want to have fun at your own pace this is great!

what makes ya say that?

I see this needing around 8 scenes/cuts to make it a smooth transitioned story. I'm no animator though so I could be over by about 2 scenes depending on how you execute it and how many panning shots you do. Thought I would give you my thoughts since you were looking for feedback :3

hmmm.... i think i understand. But it wouldn't be an animation it's an animatic.

Oh I see! So then it really depends on how much detail you willing to put into it. That in scheduling. You might still be in school after all. Good luck!

kinda yea. Still be in school?
Sorabito

Well you know... Maybe high school or college? I wasn't sure if you still had education going on or if you're done with it. Usually students have to balance school work on top of paid work or other art projects. That's when scheduling and balancing things come into play.

I don't go to school I just to work

It's... The same deal though? Needing to balance out work schedule... And that was my main point to of a passing comment... The fact that you could actually make it on time based off the fact it's not a straight animation and so the literal only variable is the details of it and your own schedule.
