Computer Game Cut Scene Project

Computer Game Cut Scene Project

1) In this project, your team is required to create cut scenes of the game you proposed in Workshop II subject (BITU 3923). The project leader must post team member names in this link.
2) Develop a story based on your game concept. You can do this by deciding the main character (controlled by the player)'s primary goal (to win/ escape/ stop/ retrieve/ deliver) in the game world. This story basically serves as a motivation for the player to start and complete the main character's journey/desire.
3) Craft a storyboard for the story. Then, based on the storyboards, use Adobe After Effects to construct 2 game cut scenes that contain animated sequence & audio:

Opening Scene

• - Is shown after the 'Press Start' screen and before the game play begins.
• - Duration: 1 - 2 minutes
• - May describe/establish story setting and the main character's role in dealing with the problem / conflict in the story.
• 
  

Ending/Finale Scene

• - Is displayed after the player has successfully complete all levels in the game.
• - Duration: 30 seconds - 1 minute
• -  Shows what happens to the main character (and/or others) in the game world. 

4) Refer to these examples of opening cut scenes for games to inspire you:
GodWar
Contra
inFamous
Alice
WarCraft
FarCry
5) Use/modify your existing game assets (character sprites / models / background / sound FX/ etc) to be incorporated in After Effects (For example, exporting/capturing a 3D character (in specific pose) into a 2D image). You also have the option to build new/ specially designed assets for your animation.
6) Project deadline: 18th December 2019 (presentation during Workshop II exhibition). No PowerPoint is required.
7) Upload of the following files in ULearn before the presentation.
-  Storyboards (opening & ending scene) scanned into single PDF.
-  2 video files (.MP4) of the opening & ending cut scenes.
-  1 .TXT file which contains team member names and 2 YouTube links of the cut scenes.
-  All .AEP files and assets ( graphics & audio) used in all cut scenes.
(if all of the above files reached more than 200MB, upload them in your Google Drive account instead. Then, submit the Google Drive link in ULearn).
