Animation Proposal: Initial Plot
After writing down my ideas, I created a first draft for the plot of my animation.
The year is 2500; London, along with the other major cities on Earth end up being an apocalyptic wasteland due to a massive storm that engulfed the planet a few hundred years ago.
Life has bounced back, although the storm had taken a toll on the population of all lifeforms on Earth. At a glance, the only lifeforms that seem to remain are small creatures such as rodents and reptiles, although there are bigger creatures that are also present, mainly large, deadly predators that look like mutated animals that feed on mammals, and have started to devour humans over the past few decades to the point where humanity was nearly wiped out. The remaining humans stay in hidden shelters to protect themselves from the harsh weather and mainly, the large man-eaters. The humans only come out at certain times during the day where the predators are inactive.
The main character is a lone traveller located in London who thinks he is the last human remaining on Earth to the death of his partner, who was killed by the man-eaters while gathering resources a decade ago. They travelled as a pair, searching for other humans to try and rebuild society, but have not found signs of other human life in the area, which had led them to believe that they are the last humans on Earth and due to her death and years of search for human life have led to nothing, he now truly believes that he is the last human on Earth.
A few days later, a small earthquake occurs and caused some old, abandoned building to collapse. The earthquake manages to damage some parts of the main character’s shelter and after a few hours of light aftershocks, the main character surveys the area to check how much damage the earthquake had dealt. He decides to look around the area for some parts/materials that can be used to repair his home and stumbles upon a tunnel that was revealed by the earthquake as it was once covered by sand. He decides to go in to see whether he could find something of use and discovers an old, but operational radio. He goes through the different frequencies and hears some muffled voices that later turn out to be other humans. He later learns that other humans from different locations scattered around the globe have been communicating through radio and he also finds out that they are planning to travel to a central location to try and rebuild society.
