One of the important tasks in the second semester was a collaborative project to bring the ideas we liked and the directions we wanted to explore into the team work. When I found the idea of showing two bounty hunters in a cyberpunk alleyway, I said I would like to join yann’s team to work on this previs animation project.

I personally like sense of lens and I was interested in working as a storyboard artist in the future, in addition to just tweaking the movement of the animation, so after some discussion, I took on the role of previs storyboard for the team, discussing the plot with sean and visualising the images. In addition, the sound effect is added to the final previs.

story：

The robot man was destroying the robots in the alley, hitting the robot so hard that it smashed the wall through the hole.

Then the man threw it into a bin. There were some robot limbs scattered in the bin.

The mechanic took out a cigar, lit it, took a deep breath, and then raised her head to emit smoke. Looking up, she saw a masked girl standing on the roof with a short knife. The girl crouched down and rushed towards the mechanical man. The man dodged in a hurry and the cigar was cut into two pieces.

The girl fell and rolled up, her back to the man.

The man steadied his panicked figure and spat the cigar to one side.

The girl slowly rose to her feet, revealing the sign behind her.

Upon seeing this, the man gave a look of disdain and said, “Bounty hunter.

The two men confronted each other in a gesture of pre-battle calm.

Time:

the near future.

Location:

A deserted alley in a modern city with a few small shops or signs.

Background:

In the future era of high technology and low living, the emergence of intelligent machines will bring new contradictions to society. The renewal of the governmental justice system can hardly match the development of technology. The consolidation of social classes further leads to chaos and excessive disorder brings about a new order. The intrigues of the upper classes have also come up for discussion, and professional killers seem to have become an integral part of every upper class force. The government’s tacit approval of the bounty hunter system has provided a new outlet for the underclass, keeping society somewhat stable but cold.

The masked girl is a bounty hunter, eccentric and agile. She grew up in the slums and was influenced by hip-hop culture. Dressing more freely, her clothes will have many cultural elements on them and she uses a short knife. On missions, the costume is more capable, she wears a mask to cover her face and does not speak.

The robot man is a professional killer with a strong body and a cold face. He is usually responsible for dealing with people or robots who hate the upper classes. His frequent killings have made him brutal and although the job has brought him money, it has also taken his arm, but luckily he can replace it with a high-tech metal arm. Metal arms offer greater strength and defence.

Finally we will have a weekly discussion on Fridays to wrap up and move the project forward.
