Story One: The Taoist
In this phase, I commenced the production of mood boards and revisited the storyboards crafted in the previous week, incorporating additional camera movements to enhance the visual storytelling.
In the concluding segment, I designed a narrative twist featuring zombie resurrection, where the zombie reclaims its body with the aid of the person it had slain, subsequently launching a surprise attack on the still-recovering Taoist.
Subsequently, we can utilize MAYA to craft certain shots, establishing the visual effects for the entire narrative. However, it is imperative to adhere to the predetermined camera setup, ensuring that two-person shots conform to the camera layout, thereby rendering the shots more impactful.
Story Two: Personal Vendetta
Regarding the mood boards, I intend to design a color effect akin to that in Schindler’s List, where the aggressor is highlighted in red, setting him apart from the rest of the elements, which will be rendered in grayscale. At the story’s climax, the avenger, upon executing the aggressor, inherits his color, symbolizing the transfer of fate or consequence.
Storyboard Design:
Following this, we proceed with the camera setup in MAYA: after modifications, the opposition between the two characters is accentuated.
