WoLD Storytelling Challenge 2 - AtahanBozkurt

[atahanbozkurt]

Challenge Accepted !! I was participated to pirate challenge but unfortunately my HDD burnt. And i have lost everything i maded when seven day remains. But now if i can have free time to do something, i'll try my best with UDK.

More progress coming soon...

Hi all. I've decided to make a short film like presentation (About video). And screenshots will be taken from film. And films theme is based quote. I've combined real/surreal worlds with a dramatic story. Main scene is related with character's memories. Absolutely short film's some part animations is not the best. But i'm trying to do it best as i can. We will see what main characters see. So i'm gonna use first person camera. Because of that i won't need a character model.

Film is have 3 chapters. First chapter intro, second chapter is main scene (For competition) and explaining chapter. And third one is result chapter.

Some screenshots from Chapter 1 (Not Completed / Without Post Processing *Except DOF*)

If i need to be honest, i'm not working too much on the project. Today i tweaked scene's lighting and post processing. Plus i've modeled a crash barrier and basic tunnel mesh. Not placed carefully but it can be done. So we can say for this scene, its done %90. In 1.5 week i'm planning to make main scene. And next 2-3 days last scene and cutscene set-up. For to the last days i can make little tweaks and produce the scene.

Some screenshots from first chapter scene.

Hey atahan,

How will you incorporate snow and fire of the story? Right now it is diffucult to tell what the story is going to be and each screenshots is focused on the vehicle (which is modeled great) but it doesn't communicate anything about the story of the challenge.

[atahanbozkurt]

Yep. I know. I'm focused on "story of second scene". Because of that i'm creating two more extra scene (First scene= Intro, Second Scene= Fire and snow/main story, Last Scene= Final of Story). So i haven't done anything about "Challenge Scene" for now. But i'm planning to finish it in 1.5 weeks. So i'm gonna create a "cutscene" for video as last. And i'm gonna take screenshots from Chapter 2 so Main Story / Challenge chapter. Car is just an object for cutscene. So it's gonna like a dramatic short film with different portrayals which contains 3 scenes.

[atahanbozkurt]

I was working on for a while with a 2D game prototype and sprites/graphics/particles. As it's seems next 3 days gonna be like that (Every day i just have 2 hours free). But, i have done %5 of main scene (2nd Chapter).

This is topdown plan of map.


A part of final shape of terrain. (%15 shaping of terrain is finished)

[Burnill]

Are you sure about the criteria? only 30 seconds of video, deadline Feb 17, 2012..... Is this more of a personal project than a submission?

[atahanbozkurt]

Maybe it's looks like too complex but also i want to do "Challenge Requirements" in second chapter. And three screenshots will be from second chapter.

And thanks for update. I was thinking it like 20th.

[atahanbozkurt]

Following images shows what i've done in three days. (Not big deal. / A little time. / Previews of meshes.)

Yeah I'm not sure I understand this thread. This doesn't feel like a challenge submission to me. You've got a very large landscape to fill out with meshes if you want to populate this entire area and if your adding as much detail as the final couple of images it will take a very long time.

What will be the final outcome of this project?

[atahanbozkurt]

Yes, it's huge map to fill out. And about your thoughts, for now; it doesn't like relative to challenge but absolutely it is. And "huge area" is not exactly "realistic" world. It's concept gonna be "memories" (i.e. wedding part, house, graveyard etc.) of a man which losts his family.

I'll work hard next days especially weekends.

[atahanbozkurt]

Hi guys. Still maybe you can think like "What the hell is doing that guy ?. It's irrelevant.". But i can say that and it's gonna be great. But for %60 percent i can't finish that scene's animations. But i'll try (I wish i have 1 more week about deadline). There is school, job and a new member of family named "Kurt". Result is a tired body and i just worked on meshes,scenes and planning. 10-12 hours in 3 weeks. Whatever, i think i've written too much. And there is new images: (Maybe i can add more today.)

Bearing in mind there is only four days left I find it difficult to believe you will get this done in time, along with the fact that there is only a slight correlation to the actual competition perhaps it would be best if you carried this on as your own personal project and move this entry to the WiP thread? You seem to have a big story telling idea in mind that might be best suited to spending a big amount of time on. It would be a shame for you to rush this, I would like to see how this story ends!

[atahanbozkurt]

Hi again ! And i'm showing new additions with tweaked PPFX also i've added 2D humans. You know; fire gets what it we hold most dear with their depths of soul. I hope you can feel idea about 2D humans.
P.S. = I've recognized now, image grain is too much. I'll fix that.
P.S.2 = Absolutely there will be more 2D people. I just put them as example.

Also what are you thinking about ppfx,concept,story and scene ? Any criticize is welcome.
