It starts with a close-up shot of a man's eyes opening. Cut to a medium shot of the man sitting up. He's in an empty landscape with nothing but black sand and dense fog. He stands up and takes a look around while assessing the situation. As the percussion of the song starts glowing white spots show up on the surface of his face and neck, pulsating to the music. This startles him. He watches the pulses and checks other parts of his body. Cut to a full body shot, and it's all over him. The kick drum comes in and the little pulses now rattle and jump off of his skin and he starts to look irritated by it. The bassline comes in and a colorful wave shoots up his body throwing him off balance, forcing his limbs in different directions to the music and making him dance. Several seconds of this, different moves and different shots.
As the synth element enters the song, cut to a close-up shot of a sleeping woman's face. It's dark but faint lights dance on her face. She awakes. Cut to a top-down shot to reveal that she's lying in bed facing the man from before. He's asleep and was obviously dreaming the previous scene, only the pulses and waves are still happening in "real life". The room is small and and looks as if it's part of a house in the countryside. She sits up in a panic, and he soon wakes. She jumps out of bed and backs away. He realizes what's going on and tries to calm her down. As the breakdown of the song starts a broom flies into frame and bash his head several times to the beat. He stumbles out of the bedroom and runs down the hall to the front door. Cut to outside the house which is an impossibly small building. He runs off with the pulses and waves still going strong. Cut to a trucking out side shot of him running full speed to the beat, foreground and background objects creating parallax disappear faster than and he's quickly in the middle of nowhere. As the breakdown of the song ends, he slows to a stop and collapses backwards with exhaustion
He falls through the ground and continues to fall through a seemingly endless space. The pulses and waves have stopped. Where the earth ends dust and rocks fall into the abyss. The space appears to be dimly lit from below. As he continues to fall there are also massive metal objects, 3 times his size, falling around him. Spoons, door knobs, sledge hammers, etc., all have dust slowly trailing them as they fall. He slams into the ground, which is indistinguishable from the space above, except for his shadow. The massive objects are all gone, but it begins to rain spoons. He covers his head, but it's still quite painful so he curls into a ball with his back facing the sky. Cut to a close-up of his face and he opens up to check his surroundings. There are no spoons in site. The next synth of the song comes in and it shakes the entire world with a high frequency. He looks everywhere for the source, turns around and finds a massive sheep 5 times his height. It's making the sound from its mouth. When the bassline comes in again cut to a truck-in shot of his face, in awe, then another truck in of the sheep's face which is in awe, but you can't tell because sheep don't really show emotion.
As the synth transitions to a chord instead of a single note, cut back to where he fell on the ground to reveal him waking up once more to 3 cats circling around him making the sound at different frequencies. Cut to a closeup of his face looking confused for a moment before he notices the sheep that he was so infatuated with standing nearby. The pulses and waves on his body are fading now.
And the end is still TBD, but I'm thinking he falls in love with the sheep and becomes a Shepard. I'd like some sort of ending shot though.
Now for Blender progress:
I've been watching a few more blender tutorial videos and it's looking pretty amazing. The rigging works way different than I'm used to, so that will take some adjusting, but there are some cool features, like bone segments. I spent hours writing a twisting shoulder/wrist scripted rig setup, and this just does it automatically. Granted I wrote mine for a game and I'm not sure how transferable this would be, but it's still pretty cool. I grow more and more excited to learn the ins and outs. Thank god it's customizable though, I was beginning to worry I'd have to learn a bunch of hotkeys that I don't agree with.
