Topic: Nattodesu: Origin | The First Necromancer

Greetings, fellow filmers of the brick.

During a delay on my Batman film, I will be producing a short (predicted to be around six minutes) that acts as somewhat of a prequel to my original dark fantasy series, Nattodesu. This film details how the very first necromancer was created, and trust me when I say, if I've had people telling me to tone down the violence in my Brickfilms before, I'm certainly going to have them with this one.

The film opens with Kigen (the first Necromancer) as a child, following a series of events it becomes apparent to his father that he isn't quite right (understatement of the year). As such, he attempts to have Kigen exorcised, believing that he must be possessed. This very quickly devolves.

I will be using many new techniques on this film in order to achieve the effects for the magic, and I wish I had some of it to show you, but sadly this is the only frame I am able to share right now.

This film will feature the voice talents of Lily-May Josephs, Jack Rizzo, Maggie MacArthur, David Figueroa and Levi Mixon.

Another frame from the animation. I'm playing with the lighting in this one to try and create a really obvious contrast in certain scenes between "good" characters and "bad" characters, as evidenced in the shot below.

Any critique is welcome. mini/smile

Looks great! We can see just enough of the characters to get a sense of what's going on, but still with a decent amount of eery shadow. Nice work!

Those of you familiar with the main Nattodesu storyline will understand what this is. Those of you that aren't - LOOK AT THE PRETTY COLOURS.

Progress Report - 19/3/15

Production is progressing swimmingly. I've got the vast majority of the scenes filmed, and I'm storyboarding the finale as I type. I'm also working on a trailer for the film which should be up within a week (Fun Fact: It's the first trailer I'm editing for myself for around a year, I usually get my friend DT98FILMS to edit them for me. Since I suck at it)

Nattodesu: Origin | The First Necromancer, coming soon.
