UPDATES AT THE LAST POST!!

Hey whats up everbody. im starting work on my animation demo reel. the concept is very loose right now. the idea is that an alien type being is trying to fly somewhere and ends up running low on fuel. he crash lands in the middle of nowhere but finds himself in the middle of a top secret super rocket silo sight.
its obviousely bad news but the only way out is to try and find some rocket fuel for his car so he can be on his way. he will run into a few bad situations and the short will end with a comedic yet epic chase scene!

anyway so im starting to draw out and storyboard the short and im going to be posting the progress as i go. anyway so let the adventure begin!

so here is one of the major scene openings. the character's first sighting of the secret super rocket silo and docking center.
this took only about 15 min...i just wanted to get the feel and idea of te lighting...thats all im trying to do with this image

i wanted to use cool colors for the landscape to make it seem more vast and farther away, but i wanted to use warm cools, like purples and whatnot for the close structure...then for the lighting, i want warm rich lighting to bring it into you and really make the lighint punch. also the lights and dark will be pretty much complementry colors just so everything really works nicly together.

anyway you can see the docking station and my character standing in awe...what trouble will he get into now!

i added a few more bridge/walkway things..it seemed odd only having one...haveing more i think makes it more of a bigger environment. i also added some space ships and computer screens...i dont like the shape of the space ships i will have to change them once i find somthing i like.

anyway...hope you thin kits cool haha

Looks like a nice start. It reminds of Metroid Prime.

You should borrow from the superman concept where the main character has realized his planet is dying and he was unable to convince the people on his planet so he decides to build a crude space crusier using what's considered old technology by his current planets standards, but when he arrives at this new planet he realizes that their technology is much more primitive then his own and he procededes to look for fuel and in the course of doing so he tries to help the inhabitants on that planet upgrade their technology, but that's where things could go wrong. He ends up teaching the planet things that they were obviously not ready for since things end up with him being chased off the planet becasue they think he is a scout sent to take over their planet, meanwhile some of them are using his technology to find his planet and take it over themselves because they want more of the new technology. He never knows who's on his side until it too late. This can be something like the innocent mis-understood alien story with some twists you can throw in there to keep it from being boring, like maybe a chase scene that happens only when his enimes are sleeping. Their dream state parallels his awake state and he has to find out who's dreaming and wake them up before they catch him or he will be stuck in their dream state if they touch him until they wake up. I can't think of how this would work but it's an idea.

wow thanks forthe ideas. the problem with the primative technology idea is that i dont have time to set all that up to be properly understood. thisshort will be about 5min, max....probably less.

but thanks for alot of great insight!

here is a pass at the begining of the short. the character looses control by running out of fuel and sending him stranded on a unknown planet. all is lost untill an aircraft flys over out character...what will this lead too! stay tuned... lol

all of this is still very conceptual and loose...i dont want to waste time on somthing that i may not use...so the loose drawings in there may change...anyway what do you think
