Milestone 1 Deliverable
Story Proposal description
My one-minute story animation will come in the style of a
trailer for something like a game or movie. The trailer opens with a fade from
black to show a dark mechanical room with a figure shrouded in darkness
positioned in the center. The figure starts speaking in a deep, low voice that
is altered by its mask, giving it a more mechanical and robotic sound. The
figure speaks throughout the trailer, giving its dark and foreboding monologue
about the universe it exists in, whilst weaving a narrative of despair for all
other lifeforms of the universe that It deems lesser than itself. As the
narrator carries out their monologue, a multitude of scenes appear briefly on
screen (3-10 seconds each) that give a visual to what the narrator is talking
about.
In brief, the narrator begins with a description of the
current bleak state of the universe where the only harbors of life from the
endless black hole-filled void are the Sentinels. Massive artificial constructs
created by a long-lost alien race to harbor and facilitate life, now often
holding long-extinct creatures and peoples which that ancient alien race
resurrected through unknown sciences. The narrator goes on to then describe the
plight that these resurrected creatures and peoples find themselves in upon
escaping the cradle of their Sentinel, calling their struggle a blind race for
salvation which ultimately leads to the same end. The narrator will mention how
all those resurrected peoples did not deserve to be brought back as in its
eyes, if they were so weak as to die out in the first place, then they deserve
death.
The trailer ends with a close-up of the narrator giving its
final words, showing the glowing red mouthpiece of the figure brighten and dim
each time it speaks a word. The final scene is of a slow zoom-out from the gear
and rail star artifact shown sporadically amongst the scenes, out to reveal
that it is inside of a destroyed ship and that the ship is within a ship
graveyard where a massive otherworldly portal structure looms amidst the
wreckage.
