Script - version 1

I have picked the story I liked the most out of my 5 ideas and written a script about it. I think this story has the most potential in terms of answering the brief (dramatic background) and it would also rely on 3D (a particle simulator might help with the water if it is decided to be a 3D element) as well as 2D animation.


Script Idea
By Teahi Maiau

Version 1
Based on an original idea by Teahi Maiau.


CLOSE SHOT OF CHARACTER'S FACE, HAIR WILD IN THE WIND AND EYES GLOWING. LIGHT FLASHING ON THEIR FACE.
BACKGROUND SOUND OF WHAT PLAYS IN THEIR MIND (like a sound flashback) : PEOPLE SCREAMS AND GUNSHOTS, EXPLOSIONS, CRIES. THE SOUNDS AT THIS POINT IS FAINT AND HARD TO DISCERN.

VOICE OVER STARTS NARRATING: I was sent on this ground for a purpose. I have seen, tasted, heard and touched as much as I could. I have lived and experienced with unclouded perception, mingled in humanity and its doings.

MEDIUM LONG SHOT ON THE CHARACTER WHO IS HOLDING A CONCH SHELL.

BACKGROUND SOUND INTENSIFIES.
VOICE CONTINUES NARRATING: My mission asks of me to be the Ultimate judge.

EXT: ON A HILL FACING A LARGE BAY. A THUNDERSTORM IS TEARING THE SKY IN THE BACKGROUND WITH A BUNCH OF WATERSPOUTS.
CHARACTER CAN BE SEEN STANDING ON THE HILL, FACING THE BAY.

CHARACTER BLOWS IN THE SHELL. A VERY DEEP NOTE IS PLAYING, THE EARTH SHAKES. THE BAY WATER IS IN TURMOIL.

A GIANT CREATURE SLOWLY RISES FROM DEEP UNDER THE SEA, DRAGGING ALONG THE UNDERSEA LIFE: SAND, REEF, ALGAE, ETC. WATER DRIPS LIKE FOUNTAINS FROM ITS BROAD SHOULDERS AND A NEUTRAL GLOW COMES FROM INSIDE HIS BODY.

NARRATION: I am resolved.

CHARACTER TURNS TOWARDS THE LAND AND MARCHES FORTH, FOLLOWED BY THE COLOSSUS WHOSE GLOW TURNS RED.


note 1 - Original idea could be recorded from Devonport facing Rangitoto. It could also be in a crater like mount Eden and the beast would be terrestrial with dirt and rocks. The character and beast would then be walking towards the city instead of from sea to land.
