The Left Hand of Darkness in 10 color scripted scenes. The last leg of their journey - when Estraven almost falls into the ravine; when they finally arrive at Karhide; when they lay together for the last time before parting ways.
[ID:
Frame 1: When Estraven almost plunges into the ravine. Estraven and the sled are very small in the top left corner with the vast empty ravine below filling up the rest of the frame with a menacing blue emptiness.
Frame 2: when the two finally spot a light from Karhide in the distance. Estraven points to something off screen in the distance. Their expressions are slightly hopeful and desperately relieved. The frame is dark but there is a small amount of warm light hitting their faces from the direction they are gazing at.
Frame 3: when the two lay together for the last time. A close up of Genly and Estraven from above, where you can see the two of them curled up in each other’s arms in a snowy crevice underneath some trees. The image feels grim but intimate.
The Left Hand of Darkness in 10 color scripted scenes. The scene when the rain clouds lift as they emerge from between the narrowed ridges and first see the ice across the valley of ice and volcanoes, and Estraven says “I’m glad I have lived to see this”.
[ID:
Frame 1: These first 4 frames are one scene. Genly and Estraven trek through the ravine under heavy snow. The color is grayish and vague; you can barely see their silhouettes.
Frame 2: They emerge to a cliff overlooking a dark valley of volcanos and an endless sheet of blinding white ice on the other side under a clear sky. They and their sled look tiny compared to the vast landscape.
Frame 3: A cut to their side profiles standing side by side looking hopefully out at the snow with warm light hitting their faces. This is the scene where Estraven says ‘I’m glad I have lived to see this.’
Frame 4: The two descend into the valley. The bright color make the scene feel hopeful despite the grim danger of the dark valley.

Depending on how work goes this year it might be a while before the actual final piece sees the light of day - so I'm releasing the animatic for the Guards! Guards! animated trailer on the unsuspecting public.
I was hoping it could work as both a trailer/intro animation to a non-existant Guards! Guards! animated show, and I think it turned out pretty neat! I hope you enjoy.
i'm conducting an experiment. everyone who's from an english speaking country state your country, regional area and what you call the following images. i need to see something
