Stathis made a good start on figuring out the opening sequence of him film; using a 3D Maya model and putting the shots into Premiere to create a Previs. I helped him rationalise the first few shots and gave him some ideas to reduce the complexity of the script, by reducing the characters from 14 to 2, and halving the length of the film, whilst telling the same story.
Below is an idea for a running sequence...it starts with two young boys running towards the camera through a sunlit field. The camera tracks backwards at a fast pace....as the colours darken, the mood becomes dramatic and a dividing fence appears....the boys eventually are separated and run either side of a chain link fence....an ominous sign of oncoming war and conflict.
The image below shows the storyboard sketches and then a 3D working model (tin cans, sheet of paper and trusty trolls!) to show Stathis what I meant and how the characters would be staged.
