This journal is largely for my dad so that he can get the link to my YouTube video, but I'll do some splurging before I get to that, about the video itself.
For one of my units, ICT 108, our final project was a 3d animation. The only main limits were that it had to have music, a message, and more than 15 seconds long. Ever since the early lectures I had some pretty good ideas that I could do. Firstly was to recreate the opening sequence to star trek the next generation, instead using some of my star ships that I've made. Those would have included the USS Einstein, Einstein-class, and the USS Seaton, Ulysses-class. Not sure if I've posted either of them here yet. The Ulysses MSD should be in my scraps, and I'll post a link to an animation of the Einstein.
Anyway, the idea I eventually settles on was a GLADOS style robot alone in an underground facility, with a film noir style to it. i had originally a rather complex story. The robot runs along the rails on the roof of the corridors in the facility you see, so its sort of trapped. in the story, this would be relevant. The facility used to be a base of some kind, filled with people. The robot was left behind in the evacuation however, and had remained there for many years, wandering alone in the dark. The movie would start with the robot reminiscing about the evacuation, or at least what it understood of it. It would have looked into separate rooms and have flashbacks to the time of the evacuation. In the end, I planned for multiple endings, but I wont spoil them in case I get around to making it.
Anyway, I minimised the project massively, reducing it to only a few assets: the robot, a wooden crate, a truck, and the corridor itself. The robot is a worker there, storing crates the truck delivers. It has been doing this for as long as it can remember, and is alone in the dark, quietly going about his job. That's what I settled on for the film. I titled it Endurance, which is also the name of the robot. If I make the original story, then I'll be calling it Nostalgia.
So that's the prattle. I haven't submitted the film to deviantart because a) I haven't been bothered yet to go through the film submission process and b) I've got exams at the moment so I should be studying. But if you want to comment about the video elsewhere than YouTube, whose flaming comment wars have become the stuff of legend, just comment on this journal. Enjoy!
