Pre-production Asset building and Pre-vis

Drew out a rough blueprint of the character for modelling.
Thanks to Zheng Yong (My classmate/colleague) who rigged the character for me. There are still a lot of tweaks required for the model but this will do for the pre-vis.
First pass previs

I am still brainstorming and will be gathering more feedback.

Pre-production Storyboard

First storyboard. Cinematography inspired by Iron man(The movie) to get the feel and atmosphere right before proceeding.
After some feedback, I've decided to change the story a little to make things more interesting.
I will be focusing on lighting/compositing and were told to lessen my shots so that more time and effort can be put in for polishing up the few shots really well. Hence, I am actually deciding to work on just one establishing shot with set replacements, cg elements, some atmospheric effects and matte painting. If time permits, I shall then proceed to work on other shots. Irregardless, I have to start working on the asset soon.
