Intro previz

Previz for intro here .

0-100

Man's cycling, oilsplash turns bike to car, car picks up speed and going upphill while morphing to a modern car. Oilsplash and car turns to airplane, passanger sleeping, airplane straighten out curve and going allmost flat, audio implicates slowdown, image freezes and zooms out. Hubberts curve, pointer towards the peak and sign screams "You are here". Transition to spinning earth, map unfolds pangea which unfolds to world map. Time counter shows 1850(?) when oil burst out somewhere and that region turns green, bottom screen shows graphically "red = importer , green = exporter" time goes on and oil pops up around the world and those regions all turn green, countries start to turn red and at 2007 the map is allmost half red half green, time stops and the geographical regions are scaled after their fuel export, Middle East is a big blob, then regions are scaled after fuel consuming and we see three eyes popping up at the three regions that are superior in size/fuel

morph final

In the mental mist of mondays when nothing but the autonomous parts goes through inspection- it's time for some leftover repetative tasks. Here we go, the whole car morph , only minor settings changes will differ from final as I am pretty satisfied how this behaves, very continual and I feel that the some middle stages actually recognise some older car models. The time spent in developing the 3d brush payed off.

Car morph test

Here's a basic test of the car morph. The model is incomplete and I need to tweak the setting for the lines but the look of the morph feels good. Maby I need to put some work into some intermediate transition effects as the final blend sequence will be a lot longer in time and may then feel to linear. Any how, one less problem.
I've decided that the car/airplane will ride on a oil wave while going up for the curve in the intro. Here's a test of a small peace from this. It would be very cool to put in a few graphs with arrows in the middle of that.

Storyboard segment

introduction->short history of oil-> focus on middle east-> boat aproaching middle east then come this: 1. Hand reach out money. 2. Hand gives the finger 3. Hand reach out gun 4. Hand push over oil 5. Oil rins into machine 6. Div products goes out on a line 7. And out on a shelf and into a shopping car Next follows a zoom-out in a urban environment with cars and machines creating a chaos driven by non human energy. The zoomout ends in the same airplane that we saw in the introduction where chaos brakes loose as the plane has ran out of gas. I'll close the gaps in the storyboard when I've worked theme out.
