Complete Storyline: wild animal is captured and transported from its own world to an overpopulated city environment. The city is based on the entertainment industry as the sustainability for economy. The animal is being kept in cruel conditions and only being used for entertainment. It is trained and made to fight against other creatures, as it is a rare species that is capable of amazing feats, the animal is extremely well adapted to stealth warfare tactics. The animal is unable to bare with the weight of its conscious over being forced to kill for entertainment, as it is a peace loving species, that only harms when in danger or for self-preservation, it escapes to find its way back home and is then being chased by professional hunters due to its rarity and value, it finds shelter in foreign lands which otherwise seem barren and un-hospitable. It finds a hidden oasis where it can return to its peaceful ways.

Back-story

Year 3030, Distant planet in a neighbouring solar system, humans have found the technology to create vast and amazing things, one of their greatest inventions is the fusion warp reactor, a device that allows for space travel to become possible, travelling thousands of light years only takes an instance. Humans used this technology to find and colonise new worlds, planets that were not completed perfect were set-up to be terraformed. The human race learned how to survive longer thanks to machines and AI, Ionised weapons were created to forcefully take planets that were too good to pass. Wars ensued and diplomacies were created with alien species as allies and enemies.

One of the first planets to be used as a colony for future deep space travel was: Fauxlorus, a planet within the Alpha Centauri solar system, named after the most advanced species that inhabited the planet and their likeness to Wolves and Foxes, these aliens were named the faux by humans.

This planet was perfect as the species that lived there were peaceful, the humans used this to their advantage, creating huge cities and building their factories, trouble ensued between the lower life forms and the fox/wolves which led to the discovery of their battle prowess and the pure bliss mankind felt when watching the carnage. This led to the capture of their species, and the re-creation of the Hunger Games, a once forbidden game between humans to fight for their survival, but now between aliens.

Plot

Opening Scene:

Rubble and debris are everywhere, there is a stone carving of a fox, a wolf and their cub.

*Distant sounds can be heard of a cub crying*

A young alien wolf is left orphaned and alone as its parents are being taken by an invading force, the humans.

A faux village is left decimated, the distinct smell of burning is everywhere, smoke fills the air, blinding those on the ground, unable to see the carnage surrounding them.

*Cries and screams can be heard in the distance* as parents are being taken away from their young

They were caught by surprise, the humans managed to sneak in close with their advanced camouflage technology, letting their pride get in the way of their knowledge, they got too close too soon, the faux sensed the human hunting party’s presence, even with their scents masked, their human animalistic nature could not be hidden, their hunger for blood and glory could not be contained, which set off a chain reaction, the faux had only a minute to defend themselves, but they were outnumbered 10 to 1, they managed to cause critical wounds to some before being subdued. Locked away in cages and taken up to their ships for transport back to the cities.

A day passes, the burning village still lights the night sky, the faux cubs have moved on, their starvation leading them to the forests for food and protection from the elements. The faux are natural born fighters, able to hunt and fight before the time they can even make their first words, the cubs were still far too young, but their natural instincts took over.

The main protagonist, distinct from the rest due to his irregular colour, is seen by a small stream, fishing, while he attempts to catch his dinner, he looks around anxiously, every twig snapping and bush rustling, breaks his concentration. His starvation drives his hunting instincts, he focuses on a larger more succulent fish, his aim is steady, with a swift motion of his arms and he pierces the fish.

The faux cub is seen relaxing at a campfire, unaware of what has happened to his parents, and the carnage that fell upon his village, his starvation caused him to forget all about what happened, the fish is slowly cooking over the fire and its distinct fragrance being carried through the air.

The cub takes a bite from his food and continues eating, the camera is taken up above the treeline, to see the surrounding area, the village can be seen in the nearby distance, still burning and lighting the night sky. With only small amounts of pollution of gasses and light, the stars are more vivid, clearer than any other night, the moon can be seen, sooo vast, that it almost overshadows the planet.

Project Ideas

Ideas for Projects

1.      Animation: 3D animation of character animal, 3-5minutes long, Disney styled theme with best visual appeal possible, possible character options (fox, bear, panther or alien based lifeforms). Possible storyline: wild animal is captured and transported from its own world to an overpopulated city environment. The city is based on the entertainment industry as the sustainability for economy. The animal is being kept in cruel conditions and only being used for entertainment. It is trained and made to fight against other creatures, as it is a rare species that is capable of amazing feats the animal is extremely well adapted to stealth warfare. The animal is unable to bare with the weight of its conscious over being forced to kill for entertainment, as it is a peace loving species, that only harms when in danger or for self-preservation, it escapes to find its way back home and is then being chased by professional hunters due to its rarity and value, it finds shelter in foreign lands which otherwise seem barren and un-hospitable. It finds a hidden oasis where it can return to its peaceful ways.

2.      Visual effects added into project 1of the 3D animation, such as fireworks, electrical effects (sparks, lighting etc.) this combines both animation with visual effects.

3.      Motion capture scene combined with aspects of 3D animation. Can be based on the original character animal or totally separate such as action/fighting/stunts combined with 3D animation to provide a story basis. Possible storyline: the world has been at war for decades with an alien lifeform that wishes to harvest and farm humans as a resource (slaves or meat or both), post-apocalyptic world where many buildings are destroyed and shrubbery is overgrown in the streets and cities, humans hide away from sight due to constant threat of alien lifeform with advanced technology. Humans have adapted and changed to survive in such conditions by replacing limbs and body parts with mechanical versions, they have also stolen alien technology and some have become corrupted by it, hunting other humans as mindless diseased savages.
