Short Clip

Okay it goes like this... (Btw the clip's in POV until mentioned.)

It begins in the Outdoors on a sunny day,
the character begins looking at the ground and sees his own shadow.
He's like under the sun feeling the heat. Then he looks at the sun.
When he looks back down he sees a kid!

He calls out to the child in a panic manner, as if he's his long lost son.
But the kid playfully runs away. Our char gives chase and the kid turns into a corner.

Char turns into corner as well and sees a door. He continues on quickly and opens the door.
Behind the door theres 1 more door! (like the matrix shot with the keymaker)
behind it is and another, and behind this door there is a slightly longer corridor with a 90 degree turn.
He sees a slight glimpse of the kid running and turning at the end of the corridor and he gives chase.

Optional, Choose A or B

A
[After the turn, there's a door at the end of the corridor where the kid runs into.]

B
[At the turn it becomes a vast warehouse with robots and mech stuffs downstairs and they're on a platform
(a corridor-liked platform , like L4D the warehouse).
Char is awe strucked for a moment looking at the vast mechs and shit. But quickly takes focus back
onto the child who is running on the platform too. He gives chase and we can hear the sound of footsteps on metal.
The child goes thru the door and char follows too.]

But suddenly! after the door there is a vast artic plain, with the wind and snowing blowing at his face.
char looks around and sees the child standing about 10m away.
He dashes forward and hugs the kid. He looks at the kid and suddenly the kid explodes into some kind of white flash
,like a blinding light (burning safari kind) and the screens goes all white.

The cam is now a long shot.
and the white slowly fades off and we see our char with his hands blocking the flash from his eyes.
The white fades away and reveals the guy in the asylum room with his uniform.

It then continues to zoom out and shows the CCTV of him in the room in tat pose and stands up slowly to
only run around again as if he's seen the kid again.

Optional Additional Ending
[Further zooming out to reveal more TV screens of many more other rooms with other crazy ppl inside. and also
revealing the words "Asylum Security Room" or something.]

Thats All!
Thats the end of it. it should not be too long as the running and all should b quite fast. Btw we can have different crazy stuff
after each door, to make things crazier. See if you guys like any part of it. or maybe it can spark something new :)
and thx for reading!

Hey all
sorry for the long awaited update.
These are my first sets of logo design,
i still have a few designs which i left in my office workstation.
pls tell me what works and what don't. =)




Here's the previs for the opening animation.





Starts off with 19 dudes forming the word "channelbox". Some are running, some sprinting, rolling, jumping, walking coolly, flying from the top, across the screen. Alot of dynamic stuff happening which i havent plan out yet. But i'll make sure it shows contrast.

Then a cool transition to channelbox logo. Oh before i get further take look at these 2 clips.

Fubiz Redesign from Mattias Peresini on Vimeo.


Effects fly in, transition to "DESIGN' shot. Then putting works or channelbox, or by yongyi on that shot. Could be character designs, concepts or paintings or whatsoever. Im thinking that all the designs shown are speed sketching of character or concepts or paintings, that lasts 1-2 seconds each. Then a sketchy (deals with concept design) transition to animation.

So transition to animation, where an animation snapshot displayed there quickly. Footage can take from ECC or cokezero or whatever. A transition whereby the letters run off the screen(deals with animation)

Then to visual fx, where ronald can showoff cool stuff there, done in channelbox or out.

Last transition to channelbox logo( maybe a cool fx that deal with vfx of course), then it goes to place and all the flash stuff starts forming to show the beginning of our webbie.

Thats all

I'm trying to get all 3 of us involved in this opening, i might have lost track of the vision of channelbox and stuff, if i have, pls tell me.

AND

i'll take this opportunity to announce that channelbox will be embarking on a short film project, inspired by these videos.

Hi guys,

Shall we have some updates on the progress of the official website?
Here is a few things which will be good to be updated on:

1. The Actionscript development for the website
2. Any difficulties faced in making the website work in Flash.
3. Can we already have a preview of the website so we have change things which are not what we want early.
4. Channelbox logo designed and finalized.
5. Start to see some visuals of the opening.

Thanks guys :)
cheers
Ronald
