Brief Evaluation

Due to the fact that my character does not talk, I used narrative changes that effected speech other than dialogue trees. My artwork is the main focus of my story, I found it difficult to make it visually impressive using this software so I decided to make the Artwork a focus, I however would like to create a high standard animation or character movement. A friend of mine created my soundtrack which I think works very well for the eerie atmosphere.

Possible Dialogue

(Man finds injured deer)

Man:             ah no, come with me buddy (picking him up) I’ll look after ya…why is it always me?...

(at his barn house, puts deer on the table)

Man:             right then um… what am I doin here… Marge! Where’s the bandages!? (leaves)

1.(Deer transforms back and hides)

(man returns)

Man:             hmmm guess he must’ve been alright…very odd..

2.(Deer stays)

Man:             right then, just get this bandaged up I guess…

            Hmmm this deer…seems odd…like no deer I’ve ever seen

            Marge! Come take a look at this!

(Deer runs away and hides)

Man:            what the!? Come back here!

(after some time) (and narration)

Woman:            I saw it again; something is definitely out there, by the barn!

Man:            Look Marge I thought we were past this, there is nothing out there, I’ve searched so many times now, it’s probably a badger or something…

Woman:            It’s not a badger Tom, It’s a yellow man with a moving face!

Man:            …a yellow man…with a moving face…I think you’re spending far too much time in the house, now get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich woman.

(After Manifest has creeped into the house)

Kitchen

Man:             What the bloody hell!? Who’s there!?

Tv

Man:             Bloody Hell Marge! That TV’s playing up again.

Bedroom

Woman:             Its him!!!

Man:             My God…what is it?

Layers of a Digital Artwork

Here is a video showing the layers and development of my Final Artwork frame, I used layers to build up the image and then refined it using adjustments and a Graphics tablet. This was one of my first goes at using photoshop and looking back at it I see how I could have improved it, for example I dislike the use of black lines and would darken the edges instead next time.

Final Frames

Refined and altered artwork for use in scratch: 

This is the climaxing moment of absorbtion. I added to my first try at this image with more detail, I wanted to make this scene a frozen moment in time, and took the colour out of it to resemble a numb moment of possible death and shock.

Woodland backdrop

Manifest watches the house...I tried to make this like an un-natural storm within someones mind as if building up to a first climax.

I manipulated a picture of a barn house (no copyright) and added spotlights to focus the action below.

I made the house interior and exterior red to embody Manifests perception of it, danger and organic qualities.

This is when Manifest discovers Tom, He has a raised arm structure in defence yet he is in a curious stance. I made this later on than most of the others and I started primarily making up the blocks with white and then adding colour afterwards, this worked a lot better and I could work easier.

Here is a much better version of the Impact scene, I decided to make it a lot darker to co-inside with the narrative and eeriness. A lot of smoke and dust is dispersed because of the impact.

Main Title- I took an early stage (less detailed) version of the eye above to create this, some say you can see someones soul in their eye, and this is the first construct that Manifest creates for himself so that he can see the world. It is an instinct he has built into him and something that nearly all creatures have, he senses this in the atmosphere and mimics the message within the life forms. There are red organic tendrils forming the eye, red is the colour of blood and therefor a large part of his abily make up.
