A match between two well known scientists’ turns into an on stage brawl.
Film type – Strange and hard to understand introduction. Going from the home to the scientist and arriving in front of a stage with the camera angle in one package.
Intro – shows the scientists create robots in their respective quarters. A lot of blue enviorment on the pacifist, a lot of light tinted red on the war mongered.
Power struggle and lines of communication errors.
Power struggle
I vs I
Communication error
Scientist number one
Pacifist – Concerned-Easily panicked-Hopeless romantic-Easily embarrassed-Smart-Crowd sensitive-Hidden ambition called when on the brink of his tolerance.
Robot number one
Skill – Can mimic the opposite personality of the user close. *Results in many unexpected odd moments from the person who stands in question.* This means if a ‘evil’ person is in sight, a more gentle figure will appear in a blueish hologram image. If a good person has this utilized on this, a red tinted hologram appear with a evil person in question. All of them have physical properties.
Scientist number 2
Military engineer who has strict ideals resemble ling that of a Stalinist. Nothing aside from victory is enough for him. Has a harsh voice, a fairly big figure. Wears a lot of red, but has a secret admiration for tough fighters who stand their ground.
Robot number 2 - A fully armed drone which demonstrates its power on what seems to be a blue nation flag, giving scientist number 2 a smile. An exceptional number of weapons and it is extremely maneuverable. Prone to technical failures due to poor safety testing.
National Tech judge
Tall – Easily reacts to charms. Quick to take sides.
National tech moderator – Short, quick to take cower – Plays no significant role other than readying the handover on the trophy.
Treatment
Camera – HA over a scientist like lab section, a peaceful garden rich with life. A blue blowtorch like sound is heard as various components are seen made. Then LA on a tall tower, which inside features many screams for something oddly resembling slave labor, on the top of it, a red steel being hand-forged into various components are shown.
During these moments, the name of the main credits are forged into the crafted components being made. It crosscuts between the two scientist, not clearly illustrating either yet. However the characteristics are shown in the way they produce the various components to the devices they are making. Before too long a blanket is thrown over one, and the title appears in the darkness that is created by this.
Title
The blanket is then removed, illuminating a much more regular environment. Fascination from the crowd then appear as in that shot parts of the robot number one is revealed.
Camera – LS on scientist number 1, showing both him and the robot as well back of some members in the crowd which are applauding.
Scientist number 1, now slightly embarrassed by the amount of applause steps back, and rather embarrassingly turns on the robot which projects a second image next to the scientist. Showing a large, muscular and clearly evil figure. Clearly scaring the scientist, but as a hologram image it cannot do much, or so he thought. He turned it off, and it clearly astounded the crowd as well as the main judge.
LS to ECU to MS on scientist number 2 which appears from one of the corners. The ECU showing his face with the cigar in just as he comes around the corner, the MS showing him as he turns towards Scientist number 1.
He coughs a bit as two rather thin and obviously not well feed people carries in a rather large object hidden under a blanket which he ever so eagerly pulls off.
Revealing a larger, yet much less polished machine. The judge seems intrigued as scientist number two pushes a button. He then throws a blue flag similar to that
Scientist number 1 is representing like a handkerchief in the air which is shortly blown to pieces by several types of projectiles. This excites the audience and infuriates scientist number 1.
Scientist number 2 then approaches scientist number 1. He then slaps robot number one so that it accidently activates. This reveals a rather funny double that other than acting as extremely embarrassing for scientist number 2. It also makes the crowd laugh at him. This makes him run over to his own machine, in a incredible speed press a great number of buttons. This makes machine number 2 transform into a mech-like robot.
There is an odd moment of silence as the robot seems to stand still for a moment. It clanks a bit and beats it chest in what seems to be a tape recorder. After a few moments, a soviet-like dance song appears to be playing, and it is during that moment it goes absolutely berserk at everything it sees, including scientist 2.
Firing weapons in all directions. Even when passing Robot number 1, which generates a small puppy like mechanical dog which has a small metallic bone as its core feature. It still continues blasting all around, chasing scientist number 2 and 1 as they run past the hallway. They run around and after a drastic sequence of dodging bullets, escaping missiles and the likes the return back to the presentation room.
This is where the robot from the roof approaches the both of them, cornering them. He then pulls out a grenade and steps forward, slips and trips on the bone made from the hologram-like image and explodes himself. Scientist number 2 is now even more frustrated with the situation even though he was about to be killed. He chases scientist number one back to his machine and at that moment, the hologram of scientist number 1 comes back. It is big and threatening enough to fight scientist number 2, which it does, and at the same time the weak hologram from scientist number 2 starts fighting with scientist number 1. So while the brutal fight between scientist 2 and the hologram from scientist 1 is ongoing, the rather pathetic fight between scientist 1 and the hologram from scientist 2 also goes on creating a rather funny contrast.
The fight suddenly stops as the judge blows his whistle. Impressed by both machines he awards both of the scientists the grand award. Scientist number 2 now respects scientist number 1. Robot number 2 that blew himself up seems to be quite content in lying in pieces and petting the hologram dog which was the opposite of himself.
The day seems to be at and end and the scientists shake hands, but the scientist number 1 seems confused when leaving that his schematics are gone. A grim smile from scientist number 2 while exiting may reveal that he might have had something to do with it.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection. - Thomas Paine
Alright, so the year is over and I find myself in a position of reflection.
At the start of the year I was a bit insecure on what to do, how to develop my creative process and how I would cope with the challenges laying ahead of me. I knew I was going to work hard, something I feel entitled to say I have. However there is also the issue of how to progress, I have always had a finish early mentality on stages, since the latter stages will most certainly take a greater deal of time to finish.
During the first mandatory assignments in the first semester illustrated this to a greater extent than required in some cases. I did alright I think it is ok to say, I could always have profited from a bit more skill, but even more so experience, and that's what I have gained during this semester, a bit of skill and a bit of experience, which in total adds up to quite a bit in the long run. Confidence, knowledge of 3d as well as problem solving are things I can much more easily cope with now, which really help.
During my next year at Teesside I will further deepen my knowledge in advanced visual effects, creative animation, games future and games development. What I have learned this year will be of a great boost in the coming semesters.
These years are always kind of tricky since most of the friends you knew won't be going with you to Teesside. You will have to be more direct and more independent in the coming years as you will have little home contact, that and of course the ever-sticky issue of funding during school years, if the times be kind upon me I will eventually find a summer job to boost the outlook on this, but for the most part I think things will go alright.
All in all, there is a challenge approaching next year, and due to this course I feel much more capable of taking that head on. I think it will be a good experience overall getting an early Bachelor and hopefully something more the coming years.

Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves. - Joseph P. Thompson
This is the final chapter and the end of the story.
Going onto the top of the building he sees a large chain attached to the top of the building. This chains leads directly up to the sky from a 90 degree angle. While climbing this up, he sees the landscape below him, the wast cities on flame. From the sight, there has been an invasion. He climbs onward towards a floating isle in the sky. On the top of this isle, what seems to be an entire abandoned city is floating. The structures can remind of a Gothic cathedral design, the buildings complimenting the light shining from the skies and stained glass creating a strong caustic visualization. It is here he walks to the center, to see what seems like a hall of mirrors surrounding him, each reflecting someone he knew, be them alive or dead.
What seems like a man steps forward. He cannot hide what seems like glowing marks on his skin, regardless of how hard he tried. He smiled, explained to the protagonist all of the characters he knew, how, and why they died. What he accomplished in the end was to overthrow a corrupt government, but only by doing so did he manage to allow an even greater threat to emerge. Now that the homeland did not present much of an organized threat, lands previously held down now had little stopping them in attacking their suppressors. In the end, all which could potentially been saved had been ruined. However, the death of a nation came warranted.
The protagonist seemed unable to accept this as several characters, those trapped in the mirror faded away. However, he was more shocked when he realized that from the very start, he had been used. Everything from the sidekick in the prison, the assault on his home city, the old wise man character and the following events. He had been chosen to deconstruct what was a dying society, even at the expense of the major losses.
Questions got thrown, few of them answered. All that was sure is that the main antagonist, the one responsible for each and every catalyst was over 500 years old and he had tried to deconstruct the same society which threatened his existence. There had been a rivalry between the main and sub antagonist. The main antagonist was plotting the demise of all the sub-antagonist had built up in hope to one day overthrow him as technology was getting more and more powerful.
However, all was in vain on his part, when he found out what was going on, his gut had been slashed by the main antagonist. Something which had an effect on the battle against the protagonist. What seemed strange is that he did not even acknowledge the existence of the sub-protagonist or the support character,. claiming neither were parts of his plans.
Upon denying the sub-protagonist he unleashed something new in the protagonist, a type of rage that cannot really be defined. Fate would have it that the protagonist, heavily wounded psychologically was kneeling on the ground, having major problems accept reality while the main antagonist was standing, watching over him. In a flash of a movement, he grabbed the hair-pin to the sub-protagonist, one which he had kept since the prison and stabbed the main antagonist through his jaw, all in one automatic move which he could not even have predicted. This came as a literal shock from the main antagonist, who stepped back slightly after this. Something had changed drastically with the protagonist, which seemed to be enjoying himself in a rather sick, insane way, but at the same time being in incredible pain. The main antagonist seems startled, although the wound did not affect him much.
The rage which the protagonist had built up initially had changed him in a way. He was stronger, but not as predictable. The main antagonist thought it was time to end this, and prepared to make a deadly strike against the protagonist, however, it had no effect as it was countered too quickly, the life of the main antagonist ebbing out.
Everything was changing quickly, the red sky was turning blue. The protagonist still visibly shaken and still mourning the loss of everything that was dear too him. Enemy battleships closing over the capital. However, one thing caught his attention, one one nearby ship he could see a familiar character. The sidekick, om board an enemy ship. For a moment, it was quiet, but it was only the beginning of the battle between these two figures. Although they were so far from eachother, they both knew that they were there and that the conflict had just begun.
For the moment, that's it. I will probably change some things out in the future.

We have to distrust each other. It's our only defense against betrayal. - Tennessee Williams
This is a continuation of the story. We are getting closer towards the end now.
Right now things have moved to a more artistic and peaceful setting. In a cold, tall room which has several platforms needed to cross in order to get towards the top. None are particular happy, but all are very determined and they speed up. Getting closer and closer, however, one gap in particular is so wide that they need to throw each other to get past. The sub-protagonist and the support characters are the two ones that are quick enough to get over on their own, so they do that. It is during this moment, that the protagonist does notice that the support character is acting kind of strange. This worries him, but suddenly a sick smile is shown as the support character, on the other side of a rather large gap stabs and kills the sub-protagonist character. This unexpected betrayal makes the protagonist enraged.
Questions are thrown each way, the sidekick/support character reveals himself to be much more able than before. Before all this, he had always been somewhat clumsy and unreliable, bringing in more trouble than what he was worth, it was all however a play on his side, this he makes quite crystal clear. The protagonist, faced by a large gap is by now fuming. The support character after a long conversation which he in a sick way seemed to enjoy leaves giving the following message. " You and I are all the same".
He works his way towards the top, what was a cold blue light have now turned dark red. There is absolutely no mercy left in him as it has been replaced with a powerful rage. Before reaching the top he finds what seems to be an altar of some kind, a rather large room. Here he sees the sub-antagonist stand. His back turned towards him. However, it was clear he knew that his presence was here.
" I must congratulate you. You have successfully dismantled the infrastructure that torn this nation apart for several years, yet kept us safe. The nations we have been feuding against will see this weakness and now strike, soon, nothing but death and decay will grace this land. Was our system cruel? Of course it was, but it worked and we were so close to world domination, but, I guess the hearts of man never will gift their neighbor with peace, neither despot nor statesmen. Power corrupts all who touch it, but it feels right, even now at our final encounter, it all feels right".
They talk for a short period of time, but surprisingly, there is no hate from the protagonist or the sub-antagonist. The one that was behind all the slaughters. However, there is a common agreement that only one can stay on this world, the other has to go.
The sub-protagonist goes for his signature move, to rush ahead and pull out the heart of his opponent before he has time to react. However, to the protagonist, this all seems slow and predictable, he manages not only to block, but to counter. It was slow, much slower than expected. The fight goes on and proves hard, but manageable for the protagonist. The antagonist combines the grace of his rapier while unflinching determination, however something seems to be slowing him down. More and more during the course of the battle. A critical hit is finally thrown upon him, by the protagonist which without mercy stabbed him with his own rapier. Only to find that another wound was present. The sub-antagonist goes to the floor. He seems very satisfied. The madness was coming to a close. He reveals to the protagonist that the main antagonist was indeed considered a God before, and had been choosing both civics and rule from earlier days. Only today the modern technology had nearly overthrown him as his powers was limited. Beyond the gates was the road into the immortal city, the one which only a single legendary warrior had entered before him.

Force without wisdom falls of its own weight. - Horace
This is a continuation of the story.
After the funds were transferred, the halls showed a clear disorientation among the soldiers which now seemed more busy arguing in a hostile way. Before too long, fire breaks out and so does mass slaughter. The main character knows that this will be on a larger scope than simply in this vicinity, by the force of the coin, he had successfully turned his nation against himself. He manages to take the remaining characters upwards towards the observatory in the this grand momentum. A few loyal soldiers fall victim as the tough soldier character deals with them. Continuing up the monument he can see that the entire city below them is in disarray, fires breaking out. This scene does focus heavily on artistic values such as color theories and light/eye guidance. Near the top a single room is visible, this is the room of the top vassal. They open the door, and see the old wise man character sit in the middle in the great office. He seems more content if anything. The main character pins all fault on him, holding him at gunpoint. However, the old wise man seems to be accepting blame so easily, so light heatedly. Something was up, and they soon caught the smell of it.
The old wise man had a past which had troubled him greatly, all the lives he had claimed both now and then. Even though he tried to change the system for the better, it was irreversible and bad just lead to worse. Although this is not properly explained, the main character knows it. He gives him the following message. " You think I am going to let you get away that cheaply, think again". The Old Wise man smiles and says the way now is open. The palace walls now find themselves breakable, take out the general/sub antagonist and all loyalty will be gone.
They take down to the streets, the fires blaze high and the streets in chaos. The otherwise green-like sky would now be radiating a more red environment. Driving past what seems to be an endless wasteland of destruction towards what can be described as a massive complex. It also is suffering from a large scale level of damage. There was a way through the walls they utilized, but the hallways were more or less filled with slaughtered corpses. They soon realize that there is no one here, until they reach what seems like a hangar. There a single man dressed in a large, black armor stands. The tough soldier class prevents the protagonist from going any further. Stepping close towards him, no words are shared. This is the one that stood behind the general. The one which the tough soldier reacted too so much earlier.
Before too long, the environment turns completely gray. The strong dynamic use of gray scale with highlights. Since there are no weapons, each blow reveals in a shock wave type of artistic design color as a falloff of the force which is used. Red is shown, at least in the blood as the battle is quite intense. Before too long, the black guardian stabs him through the chest with what seems to be a cheap move. The tough soldier is by now coughing blood as he is lifted into the air while this is occurring. A few simple words slips out of the mouth of the dark guardian. "Inferior.....". After this, the tough soldier pulls himself closer too the dark guardian. With all his force, the tough soldier lands a blow upon him which knocks him out cold. Taking much of the tough soldier with him. As he lays dying on the floor, the protagonist approaches him. The tough soldier seems happy, and asks the protagonist to promise to save his sister.
This is however when one can hear the applause of a single person above them. The general was watching them. Telling the protagonist that he was very impressed. How well he had managed to use others to his own gain and that he would have made a great military commander.
The tough soldier does not understand, but on a large screen what shows the video of his his sister being killed while in prison. After the video finished, the tough soldier, dying as he was seemed fuming. The general said the following. " Commander 'name'. You are now relived of your duty, your service is complete and you may now find peace...... Or not by the looks of it".
This is when the protagonist turns towards him, looking him in the eye once more. Although he feels like shit, he knew what he was doing. It is a powerful moment in the film and one that sets the tone for the final parts of the movie. Words are shared, but the one that feels worst is the sub-protagonist. They eventually leave the tough soldier behind and follows the general which said he would be waiting at the top of the tower. Since the tower was rather huge, it would probably be a long way to the top.

An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. - Elbert Hubbard
Ok, at first, this seems like a mess, well I am going to explain what this really is.
Firstly, this is a character relation sheet, how some of the most vital characters react too each other. So, some of their stances towards each other do change. Some never get to know each other.
Let me explain it shortly in more detail.
The Protagonist
Sub Protagonist - Known her since he was young, has a brother/sister type of relationship.
Sub Antagonist - Rivalry since the early siege of his home city.
Support character - Great, great, until the character kills the sub protagonist in cold blood, reveals the sabotage he has inflicted on their mission and leaves and completely changes character.
Silent kid - Known this character for some time, when he finds out that the kid is largely responsible for the military tactics of the government then he takes action. The silent kid is not the second support character with the lost identity that is following them around, he is with the enemy for the time being.
Main Antagonist - Unknowing on who it is at first, but instant hostility when he finds out.
Old Wise Man - Even though he gets betrayed later on, he still cannot bring himself to hate his old mentor.
Tough Soldier - Has to manipulate him in order to acquire his services, but that gets repaid tenfold later on when the tough soldier finds out.
Sub Protagonist
Protagonist - Mentioned
Sub Antagonist - She goes up against him, but cannot hate him because of her naive nature.
Support character - Always friendly, she does not know that she is his victim. Well, maybe she knew, but that remains to be one of the unanswered questions.
Silent kid - Feels sorry for him
Main Antagonist - Never gets to find out about it.
Old Wise Man - Pretty much the same as the protagonist does feel.
Tough Soldier - They seem to get along really well, which leaves the part when the tough soldier finds out a rather disturbing moment for her in particular.
Sub Antagonist
Protagonist - Mentioned
Sub Protagonist - Mentioned, although he does not care much for her.
Support character - Knows each other from previous days, had him locked up inside a jail. Never really got along.
Silent kid - Although it is his tactical adviser, they do not seem to get along particularity well. He does not like the fact that someone that young can outmatch the greatest generals.
Main Antagonist - At odds in a way. However they have a fragile peace.
Old Wise Man - Old rival which it took him long time to get out of the limelight.
Tough Soldier - Rival at the war academy, however he left as he had to tend to his family. They are about equal when it comes to combat progression.
Support character
Protagonist - Mentioned, although he has no outstanding things against the protagonist, he does the betrayal for a very important plot related reason.
Sub Protagonist - Mentioned, although he really likes her, so it is no personal dispute or anything.
Sub Antagonist - Mentioned.
Silent kid - It is an enemy of great importance, but it is still a child, so he won't hurt him at the very least.
Main Antagonist - One of the few which knows about it's true powers.
Old Wise Man - Is the only one that really understands what he wants.
Tough Soldier - Is friendly during their time.
Silent Kid
Protagonist - Mentioned
Sub Protagonist - Mentioned, although he does not know her really well.
Sub Antagonist - Mentioned, although he fears the sub antagonist.
Support character - Mentioned, although he does not know about this character.
Main Antagonist - Fears him greatly, but had a plan of his own to overthrow his authority by military means.
Old Wise Man - Conflicted, the old wise man sees him as disposable, but uses him as bait to get his ambition ac hived.
Tough Soldier - Nothing hostile, but very little interaction.
Main antagonist
Protagonist - Does know a little bit about him, but sees him as no imminent threat.
Sub Protagonist - Never interacted.
Sub Antagonist - Mentioned
Support character - Does know very little about it, but he initialized the slaughter of his home several years ago which he carried out personally.
Silent kid - Sees him as a threat.
Old Wise Man - Had him personally removed from a powerful vassalage position due to distrust, has been at odds ever since.

Old Wise Man
Protagonist - Mentioned, but he does what he does to teach him his last lesson.
Sub Protagonist - Mentioned, but he wanted her to stay out of this conflict, but she refused.
Sub Antagonist - Mentioned.
Support character - Mentioned, but he does not know him very well.
Silent kid - Sees the kid as a disposable threat, but uses him as bait instead.
Main Antagonist - Spreads a legend of his existence just to annoy him. At strong odds with each other.
Tough Soldier - Likes the fact that the protagonist uses him as a disposable tool, but interacts little with him.
Tough Soldier
Protagonist - Gets mad when he finds out he has been used. It happens at the worst time imaginable.
Sub Protagonist - Mentioned.
Sub Antagonist - Old rivals, mentioned.
Support character - Does not live to see his betrayal.

It is always the best policy to speak the truth--unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar. - J K Jerome
This is a continuation of the story.
Just a note which concerns the entire story. In order to create a right type of atmosphere on details not yet disclosed I have 3 main inspirations.
Fawlty Towers - The way the events are scripted so that they backfire at the exactly right moment. The way something is always happening is just astonishing.
The Dark Knight - The true battle behind the scenes of good and evil. How they resort to cover up the victory of the Joker. That and the 3 turning point structure.
Kill Bill - Character introductions aside, they do a great way in reconstructing the Hollywood structure as well as they use an un-chronological structure in a right way.
Continuation.
After receiving a call from the old wise man class character the protagonist and his group heads towards his location. Upon arrival they are shown what seems to be a rather particular character. Looks human, but has a strange glowing pattern on himself. The old wise man character explains that he is what one would call a bio engineered race of super soldiers. Without the presence of this 'silent kid' character, the protagonist is told that he has an a fabricated past. A brain implant which cannot be removed by surgical means since it would be too risky. Most likely he is only a cloned result. Which means he has no past. He does not know this of course. That aside he has powers which can come to use.
The silent kid, although he speaks a fair deal, is easily identifiable by his neutral mood. Curiosity for conflict and his lack of understanding when it comes to the greater forces that are in motion.
Continuing on the old wise man updates the group on on what is their primary target, the imperial dome as it is called. In order to break into this heavily fortified location several actions have to be made, break down of nearby power generators. The strategic dismemberment of the security leader infrastructure for without the paycheck, the soldiers will not respond, stealth and advancements into the bunker system. Whereas most of the nation's leaders are stationed. Cut of the head and you kill the snake.
After scouting the exterior while receiving detailed schematics from the old wise man character the protagonist lays out a plan. This is were his nature is more clearly shown, with the access to modern weaponry he got from the tough soldier class he manages to device a plan for 3 groups. The tough soldier character goes along with the support character to make a Montezuma's revenge maneuver on the high end black market. This is were they are to capture a vassalage class character which is powerful enough to lead them into the bunker. The sidekick character goes alongside the silent kid to rig the power plants with timed explosives. The protagonist and the rest goes for the blackmailing in order to get the schematics and codes. The problem arrives when the explosives apparently did not do the job. The captured vassalage character then proves useless as the defense system still is active. However, the protagonist urges the characters to follow him. By simply holding the vassalage character as a live hostage held at gunpoint, he successfully bypasses the world's most advanced defense system. Shooting him would make his finger itch, which would have dire consequences on the skull of the vassal. Once inside the bunker he sees that most of the majority of the other vassals and leaders still are around. Since it is a moment of killing the protagonist and several seems reluctant at first, but they do finish the job.
The twist comes when the old wise man character comes on the large screen, congratulating the characters on wiping out what he calls his competition. He is the only remaining vassal, and with that, he would seize a great deal of power in one blow. The protagonist, outraged by this betrayal seems to be deep in thought. The old wise man character is already saying his goodbye and despair seems high as the security forces will sooner, rather than later breach the door. However, with fury he grabs the intercom and gives the following message which echos in not only the building, but the army installation. Claiming he has sized control from the vassals, and that the payment of anyone fighting the government rather than serving it would be doubled. This causes a near instant internal conflict, much to the favor of the protagonist. The old wise man smiles at this, simply leaving the message saying "Well done".
The protagonist having acquired some codes from the vassals managed to transfer funds into an automated system. This would severely damage anyone not fully loyal to the army as there would be more to gain fighting them rather than serving them.
