Trying to spark some imagination
So, I'm going to put some sparks in your imagination.
So... today while I was showering, I usually get my better ideas when I shower, I was thinking about insects and how they're actually some harmless creatures. Then my brain just suddenly thought about the seasons and when the insects are more active. Well, when is it? The autumn ofc! That bloody autumn, such a mass insect-murderer. Comes over like a dark cloud bombing these poor insects with gigantic bombs of water-drops. And these poor insects must ofc try to find shelter, because they might die. Some of them obviously did some work and foresaw that this would happen, so they built shelters and gathered food, along with hiding their leader there.
- "Wait, Tapion, I thought you were going to spark our imagination?"
- Well, ofc I am.
- "But you just told us how nature works with the insects."
Yes, I certainly did just tell you how nature works around insects, but that's where my idea comes in, nearly exactly as I just wrote in that little intro. I was having this idea about creating this video about insects, I picked wasps for this one, where they basically sort of lives like us humans. They have their houses, gardens, etc. They do everyday stuff.
The way that I want the seasons to work with this, is that the summer is basically their sun. The sun is up the entire summer, no rain. And as the sun is about to set one day, the dark clouds form off in the horizon moving closer and closer. This is basically autumn. Here in the north everyone looks at autumn as the season of rain.
What our protagonist does then, is he's on his daily... whatever it is as the sun is about to set and this cloud moves in. All the wasps stand confused, but the older wasps obviously get scared and runs away. The first raindrops then starts to fall and destroys houses/part of the landscape, and the terror starts. This is also when our friendly wasp starts the search for his shelter in panic.
He will find his shelter and he will survive the night. As the new day starts, there is no sun, it's a cloudy day obviously, the autumn is there. So as he peeks out of his shelter he sees houses destroyed. Wasps lying on the ground unconcious. Some others come of other shelters/detroyed houses and they meet up and walk away/off in the distance.
First off, this is something that I'm aiming for to be put on sites like youtube. So the time length of the video should be at MAX 10 min. That's actually a lot too, let's say 5?
Secondly, I had the idea, but I simply can't make it myself. I'm not good at 3d, nor am I good at making music. So obviousy enough I can't do this by myself, but this is where you guys come in. I know there are some very talented 3d artists here, and why not make use of that. It would probably also make for a good practice for those participating.
This isn't really a request, it's more of a idea, something that I'm giving you. A gift if you will. Take this post as you will.
tldr version, it's a collab video idea.
Edit: If you're interested and got any questions; feel free to ask.
I forgot to say this, but the aim of this project is that it's going to free. As in no production costs. (... plus I simply can't pay you guys, or anyone else to do this, because of... well I'm poor)
Edit2: I'll even be kind enough to post whatever updates I have here in this thread.
