Proposal Write-up

I'm going to combine two things that i've been wanting to do in animation, compositing real footage animation in a style that transitions from the footage into animation and animating dark sequences so that i may play with lighting effects, glows, and particles. I have a story in mind that is fairly short so that i may focus more on minute details and aesthetics. I plan on the story involving a man walking along a dark street (this is filmed) as he turns to see a large totem of a wolf (which will be drawn and composited.) He turns and runs with a shot following him on a frontal shot as he runs down the street. Side shots of him passing go by as his shadow is shown to be some sort of creature (also animated). As he runs his figure begins adjusting gradually into wolf-like features starting with his ears. Suddenly it's a wolf-creature running down the street and the scenery transitions fully into animated woods. Moonlight shines through the trees and beams of light sweep by as the wolf jumps across terrain, over logs dodging bats and night creatures that swoop down on him. After a tiring sprint he finally reaches a jutting rock that has a expansive view of the moon above a foggy terrain. The wolf collects himself for a minute until finally howling. Thousands eyes appear below him and shapes of other wolves fade in from the background. the camera shoots in as the center wolf spins to stare at the camera. black.

I had this video before but i enjoyed the lighting that he used so i'll show it again.
