Energeia - R E M A K E

P R O J E C T :: E N E R G E I A [REMAKE]

ALRIGHT! After having weeks of break from all the mental stresses, body stresses, and any other sources of stress that tempting me to commit suicide, i finally got the chance to sit and re-sketched the whole Energeia story again.

This time, im thinking of having a voice over as part of the audio. I would like to create a short animation that give the audience 'bedtime story' vibe or impression. Unlike last time, when me and my partner were facing some difficulties in terms of time constraint and few disagreements. But that was in the past now. This time i'm free to do what i want, however i want! Isn't that great! :D

I also got all the research done for the references for the effects studies, environment design studies, and character design studies.

And last but not least. I'm torn between to create the narration as a storytelling or as a poem. Which one is better? Hmmm...
Any, things to get done :
+ Characters re-design
+ Environments re-design
+ Script for the story / poem
+ Audio design

Wish me luck~ :)

Energeia - Post Production

SEM01. D E L T A. FINAL PROJECT
P R O J E C T :: E N E R G E I A
PHASE# POST- P R O D U C T I O N

HAH! After so many ups and downs and point negative sleeping time, Energeia is finally done! done! and done! It is definitely not near perfect enough but considering we had to dealt with a lot of misfortunes to the point we thought the world itself is against us from finishing the project; the final product is not that baaaad! XD

At the beginning of the development, we were told by a person from 'the industry' to change the ending where the human and the gods and goddesses are working together in harmony. But towards the end, many people were against the idea and proposed that we stick to the original. And yeah! We do love the original version better! XD

There were also lots more stuff that we had made changes to such as the characters' design and the environment design. But all is well now. :)

I'm hoping to re-do the whole thing one day. No time constraint, no deadline, no any sort of restriction and purely for pleasure. 
MY pleasure!

Anyway, enjoy the animation.

Energeia - Storyboard

SEM01. D E L T A. FINAL PROJECT
P R O J E C T :: E N E R G E I A
PHASE# D E V E L O P M E N T

Storyboard is very important as a guide to show how the story flows.

Below are the storyboard divided by parts :

Part B

Part C

Energeia - Environment Studies

SEM01. D E L T A. FINAL PROJECT
P R O J E C T :: E N E R G E I A
PHASE# D E V E L O P M E N T

Environment studies of this project consist of the look and feel of the whole animation. The color theme, design and concept plays very important part to grab the audiences' interest.

Below are some of the sketches and preview Energeia sceneries:

 The Floating Island

 Water Goddess's floating island

 Barren Land

Light of Life

Earth awakens

Scorching burn sunlight

A drop of water

Underground water lake

Dried mountain lake

Springs of water

Water lake

Mountain lake with rocks surrounding

Excessive water leads to flood

The sky with variety shapes of clouds

The Invader's dawn

The damp

Windmill

The polluted lake and the Destroyer's city

Water goddess's revenge

Floating houses

The tree of life and the prosperous land

The mythical island

These are all the design that we come up with so far. There are maybe some design that will be modify throughout the pre-production stage. Try and error as they may call it! :D

Energeia - Character Design {stage 03}

The third stage of designing a character is the finalization of the design and concept.

Below are the third stage of the characters design:

Apparently, we had to make few more changes on the characters' designs as the project continues on until each and one of them fit the look and feel of the whole project interface.
