Project Deity Academy Blog #35

This is my 9th blog post about Deity Academy, my first ever group project.Yesterday (April 8th 2015) I have somehow finished a expression sheet of Centeotl ...
but according to my director (Byrn) I do need to exaggerate them a bit more and he helped me with the finishing touches and as well taught me how to make the expressions more exaggerated. This is what he had done to help me with drawing Centeotl's expressions today (April 9th 2015):

 There will be a update on Centeotl's expression sheet (re-do) later tomorrow. Also today together with my director and my fellow team member savin, we took part in helping out with the final voice recording for Centeotl. The voice actor name is Josh and we basically did what a voice actor needed to do from the final script lines (in lots of takes) to sound effects (like wimpering).

Plan for the rest of the day:
- save some energy for tomorrow set of work
Please look forward to the next blog post.

Project Deity Academy Blog #33 - Voice acting auditions

This is my 7th blog post about Deity Academy, my first ever group project. Due to the last 3 days for not doing any work, today (April 7th 2015) I have managed to do some work for the auditions to which it took up almost the entire day and I have one more audition to do for just tomorrow.
Here is the people who auditioned for the 4 main characters in Deity Academy:

TuckAres and Anubis
Jonno Ares and Anubis
CraigHorrace (god teacher)
MikeNezha
VinnieCenteotl and Ares
kelly - Centeotl
Cade - Nezha
Kirsty (me) Nezha

When i auditoned for my part for Nezha I was only able to say just this dialogue piece:
                                     "Hey look what the corn guy did" 
But when I tried out the first dialogue piece for Nezha it was mouthful for me to say it all. Especially this one:
“I can kill dragons and walk on water and weild a spear and have shoes made of FIRE!!
    I can take myself apart and give my bones and skin to people, and I can come back from the dead and turn into a ball of flesh and and beat up demons
    I have my own temple and I'm made of lotus roots and I cure crippling sicknesses! and I travel the world spitting RAINBOWS!!"
    [Anubis covers Nezha's face in a cloth so the rest of the dialogue is muffled noises]
 

Because I need to be excited when I say his lines, but my excitement goes up slowly then it comes down.  

Other than that coming up soon will be the full details about the voice acting auditions, which includes; the 4 main characters personality, direction, dialogue and their finalized model sheet. Also some of their expression sheets.

Project Deity Academy Blog #32

This is my 6th blog post about Deity Academy, my first ever group project.
Last week I helped the group by doing some backgrounds. I actually helped out with only one background though. I was told to do the background for the front view of the classroom by the group producer Leigh. I did my best even though the background look easy to do but it was hard especially the chairs. I didn't finish the entire background but I did managed to at least did a bit of the background and this is what I had done:
Also today (April 3rd 2015) I have somehow finished another expression sheet of Nezha ...
It's on model but it has not been exaggerated so I'll have do re-draw these expressions again. 
So this will mean that I might need to exaggerate them a bit but I am not sure if I should do it though.

Plan for the rest of the day:
- save some energy for tomorrow set of work
Please look forward to the next blog post.

Project Deity Academy Blog #30

This is my 6th blog post about Deity Academy, my first ever group project.
Today (April 1st 2015) I updated the script to my group project called "Deity Academy"
The script was pretty much written and re-edited by a bunch of dorks including, Bryn, Leigh and myself. Here is the re-edit version of the script ...

"Deity Academy"
written by [A bunch of dorks]

fAde In:
[Ext. THE SCHOOL]
Open to a building on cosmic clouds in outer space.
Lots of different characters are flooding into the building.
A sign on the building reads 'Deity Academy'.
A small character, called Centeotl, looks up at the sign in awe. Centeotl stops walking and the god teacher in the form of a book calls out to him.
GOD TEACHER
“NAME!!”

Centeotl looks up at the god teacher in the form of a book and says happily
CENTEOTL
“Centeotl”

God teacher in the form of a book, looks down at him and flips it's pages, until it stops on a page where Centeotl name is. Centeotl's name get ticked off and the god teacher reply back to him

GOD TEACHER
“Room 307.47 – don't be late”

God teacher in the form of a book, close itself up with a snap and Centeotl jumps up in surprise and falls over.The God teacher turns around to face the others and shouts

GOD TEACHER
“NEXT!”

Centeotl look up at the god teacher in the form of a book and say happily

CENTEOTL
“WOW! My first day at God school!”





[int. THE classroom]
Centeotl walks to his class room with a note telling him what door it is.
He opens the door to find the gods he will be studying with, however, a group of three gods stands out the most to him – the group consists of Ares, Anubis and Nezha.
Nezha and Anubis are chatting, while Ares is making googly eyes at Aphrodite.
They have a glimpse at Centeotl but don't care, and carry on. Centeotl take this as an invitation to introduce himself.
Centeotl walks up to them very happily and puts his hand out to shake.
centeotl
“Hi! My name is Centeotl, are you guys as excited as I am, for our first year?”

The 3 gods look at each other, cofused.
Anubis
“Is this guy serious?”
There is a freeze frame on Anubis showing who he is and what he becomes later on.
Ares
(Hot blooded God of war)
“What are your powers, bro?”
There is a freeze frame on Ares.
Centeotl is about to introduce his powers when he is interupted by the excited Nezha

nezha
“I can kill dragons and walk on water and have firey shoes and turn into a ball of flesh and-”
Anubis uses his mumification powers to stop Nezha's talking
centeotl
“My powers let me summon”

He begins a huge build up – his freeze frame showing who he will be is here

centeotl
“...COOORRN!”

One small cob of corn is popped into existance, and everyone simply stares as it wilts anti-climactically
The other 3 are disapointed.
Ares grabs the corn, and hits Centeotl, squashing him downwards, and springing back up, but flat as a disk. Ares grabs the disk shaped Centeotl and flings him across the class room, towards the white board.
The door turns into the Teacher/principle god
GOD Teacher
“Alright class, settle down and take your seats”

Centeotl smashes into the white board, and the door teacher god turns into a more humanoid figure

GOD Teacher
“Ares, I will not tolerate that behavior, be seated, before I fail you!”
Anubis and Nezha sit beside each other, behind Ares, who saved a seat for Aphrodite.
Centeotl sits down in the seat Ares saved, instead – Ares looks angry at him

[Int. THE classroom]
The god teacher stays in the humanoid figure and said to the class

GOD TEACHER
“Hello students, welcome to universe
creation class”

God teacher leaves the door and it falls on the floor. He turns into a drawing of an eye on the white board.

GOD Teacher
“We'll be starting with something simple today – planets”
everybody is making their planets
Centeotl adds the finishing touches to his happy little planet full of corn trying with one windmill – the camera pans to Ares's dull planet with sounds of destruction and small explosions coming off of it
Centeotl looks over at Ares's planet
Centeotl
“Hey pal, how's your planet going?”
Ares looks at Centeotl, grunts and continues watching the destruction
Centeotl
“Whoaa! – you have life on your planet already?”
ares
“Not for long...”
Ares does an evil grin while Centeotl continues to watch the planet
Centeotl
“they're eating eachother!... they must be hungry!!”
Ares pushes Centeotl out of his way and looks back at his own planet.Centeotl grabs his own planet, knocks Ares away and shakes it a bunch – corn falls off, onto Ares's planet. Ares push the planet with his hand and shoves it into centeolt's mouth before looking back at his own planet.Cheering can be heard from his planet.Ares looks at his own planet and see's the creatures all eating corn and erecting a statue of Centeotl
Ares
“they're happy!?.... they're eating corn!?...is that a statue of-...”
Ares glares at the tiny statue of Centeotl,looks back angrily at Centeotl who got his planet out of his mouth
ARES
“I'M GOING TO RIP YOU TO SHREDS”
Everything goes pitch black, leaving Ares's alone in darkness
The god teacher eye, as a spotlight, shines onto Ares
GOD teacher
“Ares, if you keep distrupting other students, I will send you to the detention dimension”

Ares
“the what?”

GOD teacher
“it's like your own personal hell”

The god teacher eye, as a spotlight, stop shining on Ares. Then it fade to black before it shows Ares being returned to the class room

Centeotl
“I missed you!”

[Int. THE classroom]
All the planets that the students made are turned into paper.
GOD Teacher
“you will now fill in this test sheet using the knowledge you've learnt from your little planet experiments”
Centeotl keeps clicking his pen, hindering Ares's focus.
Ares goes to tell Centeotl but before he can say anything, Centeotl summons a corn on the cob in Ares's mouth.
centeotl
“Ssshh!! I'd love to chat, buddy, but this is a test!!”
Ares grabs the corn, and throws it behind him
The corn hits a window, the window spins, and flings the corn back into Ares's head causing him to fall onto the back of Centeotl's head. The corn floats for a bit and then morphs into god teacher's eye.

GOD teacher
“NO CHEATING!!”
Ares is sucked into the eye of the teacher god and is sent to the detention dimension

FADE TO BLACK

[Ext. lunch time. The playground area]
The bell rings for lunch time.
The god teacher portal opens up and spits out Ares.
Ares returns from the detention dimension flat on the ground and looks up. His vision is blurred a little but his forcus goes back to normal. He looks up and notices Anubis and Nezha rubbing elbows with Centeotl.
ARES
“He stole my …... friends”

Ares snaps ,explodes into anger and jumps up towards where Centeol is. Ares's battle cry interupts their conversation and he comes down and crashes into Centeol. Ares stands back up angrily and Centeotl slides across the ground. Ares rips out a corn on the cob from the ground

Ares
“I'm going to beat you with your own corn!!”

Before he whacks Centeotl, the Teacher god shocks him with a lightning laser blast thing
Ares is left crispy

GOD teacher
”Stop getting into trouble, Ares, I'm on break too”

Ares remain crispy and a piece of popcorn pops off the burnt cob. The burnt cob expands into more popcorn. The popcorn explodes and it followed by a giant wave of popcorn that engulf them. Nezha and Anubis both comes up to the wave of popcorn. Anubis take a piece of the popcorn, put it into his mouth and eats it

ANUBIS
“Mmm this is great!!”

NEZHA
“Hey everybody !! Look what the corn guy did !!”

Everybody gathers around the popcorn pile,more and more students gathers around until there is a huge crowd of them. Centeotl pops out of the corn to a cheering crowd, looks around and throws popcorn happily into the ar.



FADE TO BLACK

a sign fades in that reads 'corny ending huh?' and the credits roll
after the credits, Ares is shown to give up and and tries a bit of popcorn, but bites into a popcorn kernal and shatters his teeth
The End
The script has finally been completed ~ !
      Plan for the rest of the school day:
- start doing some style practise by drawing different expressions 
of Nezha, Anubis, Ares and Centeotl
Please look forward to the next blog post.
