It's my final year at University of Worcester and I want to make it count. I also want to have a great video that is so much more than a piece to chuck on a show-reel and leave it for interviews.
When I leave Uni I want to work in a post-production facility, and I wouldn't mind being part of the production process too. I want to work with VFX, and I don't mind what I do. So for my dissertation project I decided to create an ambitious short film based on a little video game called "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"
Right now I'm at the bare-bones of Pre-production. I'm trying to assemble a crack team together, and at the moment I have a writer on board and an artist for Storyboarding, and also a Blacksmith for the intial costume design.
So what do I want? I'm aiming to create a 5-10 minute short film, with Dovahkiin being my main character. Because of this, I want to create a costume that mimics the costume Dovahkiin wears in Bethesda's game trailers, and in Logan's Live Action trailer.
But my film also needs to include some great Visual Effects to smooth the whole thing. Nobody wants to see a man in a suit of armour with a sword running around in a 21st century environment. I'm planning on doing lots of Visual Effects work to bring Skyrim to Worcester.
I'm currently talking to my writer Sam about the whole thing. Trying to decide a good plot. He's a fantastic writer and you should check out his work, I'll ask him for a link to provide.
Once I get my plot, I'll start drawing up some crude, childish storyboards, and send them over to my Artist Dragomir. I asked him to do me a quick drawing of Dovahkiin and he provided me with this fantastic piece, which he drew in a day.

Now go check out his work.
As it stands, I have a long way to go. Wish me luck!
