as many of you know I have been working on a short movie project for some time now. After a series of false starts I’ve finally decided to scratch everything and start fresh… and do it right this time.
so first I’m posting the story… this is version two (version three in the works)
objective: to create a fully-cgi sifi-action animated short (approx. 9min in length)
ok, some background that I left off in version two (but will be in three):
a) the setting for most of the movie is the planet Espia. this planet’s continents (of sorts) are covered entirely with swamps. The planet is home to a sentient species known to us as the lizards (because they are bipedal amphibians which look like lizards)
b) this planet was invaded by a race known as the rays. they are unintelligible, inhumanly evil conquerors. they have (by the start of the movie, excluding flashbacks) taken over one of the two major continents.
c) humans are neutral in the struggle. the governments just ignore the conflict but private armies and teams of humans serve as mercinaries and spies and merchants for both sides.
d) the crew of the ‘fireflower’ is a mercenary team.
anyway, here’s the story:

and a character synopsis:

ok, I need crits on the story and help on the character’s names. all of the humans need new names so please suggest any.
also, I will eventually need help from you guys. the first position i’d like to open to the public is sketch artist to help me with storyboards as I am of limited talent in the field of sketching. If anyone would like to volunteer please email me at REMOVED . whoever would like to do it would be required to make concept sketches and keep in close contact with me (probably using chat instead of email).
sorry for the long post:o
