Voice over is still under works for the time being.

Heist hazard is my first attempt at 3D animation, 3D modelling and texturing. The story takes place in space where 3 bandits gathered together to rob a space cruiser. During their heist, however, they were met with the ships' powerful security drones, which forced them to land on a nearby planet.

Week 3: Script

For this week, Team Drop Bombs Studio is pitching a short story animation about an intense space heist. The story follows a moving cargo ship on its way to deliver goods and services to a nearby planet, when suddenly, a small crew of space bandits begin their heist and face more than they anticipated.

General Plot:

Three pilots have their eyesight on a valuable cargo ship. From their cockpits, they have decided on a target based on the blueprint sheets available to them. The three bandits then start their heist on the cargo ship and everything goes well according to plan.

However, during their heist, one of them notices a warning on their radar, and it turns out that there are large amounts of enemy androids appearing out of nowhere to take them down. The bandits have to make changes to their plan and come up with ways to counter the new threat.

Using their only tools, the bandits destroy multiple enemies. However, when the cargo ship starts landing, the bandits figure that they might not make it out alive.

With their wits, the bandits barely escape alive. They land safely on the planet and show their loot while celebrating their victory.

Environment sketches:

In total, we are expecting three main protagonist bandits. Each of the three bandits will have their own ship, unique to their own abilities. For example, the first ship will have a grappling arm capable of grabbing cargo. It’s design will be more utilitarian, and it will have two arms for its work. Our second spaceship design will utilize EMP to disable ships, and it will take on a more aerodynamic and slippery design for maneuverability and speed. Lastly, the third ship contains a large, powerful laser that is capable of carving through enemy force fields and protective walls, allowing fellow bandits to break in. Each ship will be recognizable with just its silhouette. Some shots will frame the interior of the pilot’s cockpit and their reactions.

 As for the environment, we know that the background would be space. However, since space is mostly black, the audience would likely have trouble following where the characters are. Therefore, our team decided that the heist will take place near a light-emitting planet, providing a subtle glow and sense of space. The cargo ship will make its way towards the planet, and the heist would take place around the giant cargo ship.
