Master Of Animation, Games & Interactivity
Master Of Animation, Games & Interactivity

At the very beginning, this story presented in my mind in a very commercial way, it is figurative and complete. But during the study at MAGI, those ideas gradually changed because I was exposed to different forms of animation. Now I understand that to some extent, the feeling and the meaning are more important than the picture.

I began to rethink how the world looks like in the main character's eyes when he arrived at an unfamiliar planet first time. The colour, the texture, the taste, and even the air of that world is unfamiliar to him. Not to mention those two layers of atmosphere in Y-planet are full of different kinds of magic. Therefore, he should not be able to directly see the reality in the first place.

What he has, should be an original feeling, and this feeling will also be modified by his brain since we all know that our brain has so called Protection Mechanisms to rewrite reality in extreme situations to protect us from getting mad.

I tried to use geometries, lines and smoke to display feelings of ALEX. The 1st picture below is the first storyboard version of one scene in my script, it shows how he finds another person coming from Earth being executed as a stowaway. And the 2nd picture below is the revised version, as can be seen, I brurred almost everything.
