Talking about making a concept video for dosimeter. We want to make this in 3 months, so we should probably try to make it in 1.5 months. This gives us 4-6 weeks, and we want to shoot for a 2 minute long video.

Creative constraints:

• No focus on a mecha, or mecha fighting
• Abstract, datamoshing, kkmfd is a big inspiration (see EXC3_CM3)
• No characters; faceless, low poly humanoids are okay
• We want to do some custom scored music

Ideas:

• It would be nice if the video showed some events leading up to the game.
• We want to have a lot of cuts and show a bunch of different scenes.
• Talked about doing flashbacks, like Halo 3 ODST Live Action Trailer "The Life"
  • We want to avoid combat, but I think the framework of representing a bunch of flashbacks from the perspective of a specific person would be interesting.
  • We could do flashbacks along with more abstract datamoshing scenes.
• Unsure if we want to show it from the perspective of the opposition or the nation homeworld.
• Maybe we could make the video about getting into the mech.
• Could try showing it from the perspective of both, and switch between technological and biological scenes.
• Showing buildings blowing up or crumbling will take too much time.
• Show simple scenes or empty landscapes, that seem abstract. If Tanuki has to model more than three things per scene, it's probably too much work.
• Neon Genesis Evangelion has a few scenes where they cut between a lot of shots that have a lot of data
• Enter the Void Intro Title Credit Sequence, we like the sequence at the end in particular
• Should feel scary and end in a cliffhanger
• Having a sound effect like this sound at this timestamp in the NOPE trailer would be a good way to end the video on a foreboding note.
• We should use grainy real-life footage like in モーショングラフィックス "nostalmic" by Isshin
• We feel like empathy for the machine by Morph Labs "gets it", but we want something faster, more violent, and bad

Exo's Scene sequence ideas:

• Getting into the mech
• Dilating eyes
• Show bug tower
• Show close-up shot of fire
• Show a scene of a house or skyscraper with overgrowth and bugs
• Datamosh: The words TRUE HOME and related concepts
• Show motionless or slowly moving kaiju from far away
• Datamosh: The words DOSE-M in several different formats, flanked by gun graphics
• Eye-shaped satellite base "Ocular" arrives in LEO accompanied with a lot of smaller satellites, visible in the sky from the surface of Earth. Play a foreboding sound effect.

Tanuki's sequence ideas:

• Scene: Colonial Forces Arriving, Surveillance state
  • View of the sky (sky has abstract pattern), a bunch of eyes start opening within the sky
• Scene: Ending Cliffhanger "hopeful"
  • Red and Blue people meet first time, walk towards each other, touch hands like touching a mirror - mirror shatters
• Scene: Squish
  • Blue person meets red person, red person grows to mech size, squishes other blue people
• Scene: Desolate Waste
  • Environmental scene, town, darkened houses, linear pattern (think start of Ena)
• Scene: Datamosh 'tree'
  • Show tree growing as one of the early datamosh scenes, show it dying later in the sequence
• Scene: Datamosh "graphs"
  • Show a bunch of different graphs rapid fire that look like data from a mech
• Scene: Datamosh "Money Goes Up"
  • Show a bunch of stock-market-esque scenes
• Scene: Into the mech
  • Person within the cockpit of his biological mech, mech lid closes
• Scene: Fluid fill
  • Fluid filling the screen - alternatively, fluid filling a tank with a person inside
• Scene: Into the mech
  • Person within the cockpit of his technological mech, mech lid closes
• Scene: Wind turbine 1
  • Wind turbine in the distance, large, spinning
• Scene: Wind turbine 2
  • Wind turbine in the distance, not spinning
• Scene: Wind turbine 3
  • Wind turbine in the distance, spinning very fast
• Scene: Wind turbine 4
  • Wind turbine in the distance, broken, in pieces
• Scene: View the eyes
  • Person standing on the edge of a cliff, staring up at all the eyes in the sky
• Scene: Bombs are dropped
  • It's literally a copy from that Ena scene where bullets fall all around her 1:40 on official trailer
• Scene: Datamosh "Is This Really Okay?"
  • Large words "IS THIS" appears on the left side with "REALLY OKAY?" on the other
• Scene: Datamosh "This Really Is Okay!"
  • Large words "THIS REALLY" on the left side and "IS OKAY!" on the right
