Here is my finished arena concept piece.

I began creating some concept art.

We really liked the arena style from the Lord of War Animatic.

As a team we started to conduct some research into Gladiator arenas.

This anamatic storyboard has a similar theme to ours and so can be helpful.

So we’ve been attempting to storyboard our anamatic. That last team had talked about how the crystal species was built up of warriors and that they would have to prove themselves by fighting. Once we brainstormed, we concluded that having a gladiator style fight would be the best way forward. After exploring it further and researching gladiators. We came up with the idea of two friends having to fight each other to the death. During our anamatic we want to include a flashback of the two a children, growing up together and show how the rivalry developed.

Our next project in Creative Elements was to create an animatic storyboard. I have never put together an animatic before so I’m fairly nervous about it but I can’t wait to get started. Going to begin by looking at what the previous team left us with then brainstorming with the team.

Drawing I eventually finished for a friend. :-)
