Damsel-in-Distress Short
Project Outline: Honours Project
This small sequence plans out the intro sequence of a damsel-in-distress-themed story. The hero is on the lookout for a girl and has to overcome a guard.
To plan out this story, previs and layout were used. This was an iterative process, and there have been different versions, with changes to the story, as well as more and more levels of detail in each iteration, to quickly figure out the most important details.
Utilised Software: Maya
