My new Leica Reel

Hey so I promised my new Leica reel a few days ago and here it is, it shows the new setting and the new tweaked storyline, hopefully since i put the text a bit more readable people can understand the story better.

A Quick Introduction and Overview

Hello, this is the first post on this blog, we have to make a blog for Uni to detail what we are doing for my FMP. I have basically kind of ignored that always saying I will do it later or after I have modelled something but I never do it. Well finally I have made this thing.

My Final Major Project will be called Communication Over Alienation, and it is a theme that I have wanted to get across for awhile. It is about my personal dealings with Aspergers, which is an autistic disorder that affects all manor of things like social skills. When I was a teenager I always felt a bit distant from my fellow classmates or teenagers, i felt for a long time that I was an alien placed on this earth accidently, I didn't really get the rules of social interaction. This was until I met a group of people that shared a lot of things like science fiction shows and movies, it was also where I learned the most from my condition since someone else had it as well and kind of guided me where I could get help. Anyway all in all this film basically shows a person dealing with Alienation and finding a group that have his same likes and eventually finding that the place he lives in isn't as alien as he first thought.

At first I wanted to tell this story with a private investigator and a very Noirish world and a bar, but someone gave me a very good point. Why isn't this about a teenager since this is my personal experience. So that's exactly what I have done I have changed it to a very school setting and this has improved my work and story immensely.

1) It has made a lot of things make sense, like why there is a group of humans and why they hate the Aliens so much, also some story plots make a bit more sense and would ease the audience a lot more.

2) It has made the modelling of the characters a lot easier, I can legitimately use the same blazer and smart pants in all my characters since it is a school and everyone dresses the same. Well they do in this school!

So today I have two characters modelled and have redone a few of the storyboards to make it a bit more like they are in a school and to make the text a lot clearer to read. i will post a picture of the characters, tommorow I will probably post up a Leica Reel of the new story, not many plot points have actually changed from the original story but hopefully with the new setting they make a bit more sense.
