Sandrunners - The story

Hola hola! Tento semester mám okrem iného nejaké predmety z počítačovej grafiky - že by som to rád dokončil v Prahe, tak sa vcelku hodia.. No a na jednom budeme robiť celý semester na animovanom filme so všetkým, čo k tomu patrí. Prvá časť bola harmonogram, rozdelenie do tímov a nejaké blbosti okolo, potom návrh témy a rozpísanie príbehu. Bohužiaľ, mám to po anglicky a som príliš hladný na to, aby som to teraz v škole prekladal, však ale vy všetci viac či menej po anglicky viete, tak máte zadarmo príležitosť vzdelávať sa (ak by aj tak boli námietky, pôvodné znenie bolo španielske :-P )

Komentáre naozaj vítané, na scenári sa bude pracovať najbližšie 2 týždne..

A ozaj, poniektorí možno nie úplne pochopia, dej sa odohráva na planéte Dune filmovo aj herne známej, no nie až tak široko.. Ale to podstatné je naznačené v príbehu..


The story:

We can see a desert made of sand and rocks. There are two rock zones with a big sand field in between. We can also see some movement under the sand.

Camera focuses on one of the rock areas where we find two people. One of them is a blond blue-eyed man dressed in green sportive suite. The other one is a native dressed in some kind of arabian clothes. We only can see his eyes completely blue because of the melange. They are having a discussion. The first is the best runner of the known universe and says it’s easy to run over the sand. On the other hand, the native thinks it’s harder than it seems.

The runner laughs and the native points to a harvester near them just being eaten by a sandworm. The native says that he can do it and the runner feels underestimated and says he is the fastest and he can cross the sand field with or without worms. They agree to see who’s better doing a race through the sand field.

They prepare themselves to run, look each other straight to the eyes and the race begins. The runner runs as fast as he can while the native begins a kind of dance with irregular steps.

The worm shows for a second over the sand and then disappears again. Its movement can be seen as a sand wave in the field. This wave stops and the worm changes its direction. Now it goes directly to the runner.

Then camera focuses the native, who recognizes the situation and says it’s a bad idea to make regular movements near a worm because it’s the only way he can find you.

The worm tries to eat the runner but he can foresee the attack and changes his path avoiding it. The worm disappears under the sand and the wave continues to follow the runner. There are some more attacks but the runner always avoids them.

Meanwhile, the native continues his strange dance.

The runner sees that he has almost won and begins to dream about fame, fireworks, parades and parties with all kind of beautiful girls.

Suddenly, the mouth of the worm closes around the runner and disappears under the sand.

The camera focuses the native as he shrugs his shoulders and says: “You can be the best in the world, but remember that you’re still no more than a worm in the sand.”
