I need advice a story I'm trying to write for an animation

Hi guys, I’m doing a project with Blender and it’s my first truly complex animation. I have only 7 days to complete, I would really appreciate any advise on how to make different scenes and camera angle in the same project file. :sweat_smile:
I also need a critique on my piece of story, I don’t really know english that well and I’ll appreciate your suggestion/correction on this piece of text.
Thank you :grinning:

“Year 2344
Because of an unknown event The Sun is reaching ahead its shape of a Red Giant.
It is been estimated a time of 130 years before complete extincion on Earth.
Scientists and governments around the world have agreed to focus all resources on warp engines development that can reach unexplored and unachievable places in deep space.
Robotic recon units were launched to the nearest known stars with the hope of finding habitable planets for humans.
They were called Star Wander (SW)”

well, for fast camera “switching”, I suggest you just animate the camera. add a keyframe for position/rotation where the last frame ends, then on next frame, move it where you want it, rotate, and add keyframe.
it’s not the nicest of ways, but it’s fast. there are also plugins for switching cameras according to markers on timeline, and it’s not that hard to do it yourself either, but… you know, a bit more time required :slight_smile:

as for the story you posted… I don’t see it. there is synopsis of basic apocalyptic scenario, but not really a story? or am I missing something.
so, what exactly you want to show to people?

Maybe you meant “star wanderers” ?

Thank you very much, I’ll use this method. Yeah My bad :sweat_smile: it’s not the entire story but just the “Expositional text” at the beginning, since I have no time to show it visually and no voice actors.

Thanks for correcting google translate lol, so one of them would still be wander right? because I want that as my Title xD

one who wanders is a wanderer
one of them would still be wandering when… lost in space
:cat: cats do wander :wink:

As you imagined the story will take place in space, do you know how I can fake a massive planet prospective from a far camera that moves up and a space ship that get closer to the planet? I know that I can’t use real mesurement for objects that big with a small spaceship, and the camera movement would show that the planet is closer than it seems.

Cat that wanders + space = Uhmm Nyan Cat? :joy:
