'Plot'

Due to being a documentary, there is no heavy 'plot' to the video since I learn that mixing a plot into a documentary really doesn't work, it is more based around showing 'a day in a life of a gargoyle'. Although it focuses on one single gargoyle its actual are based on the of the species as a whole just like in real documentaries.

The video shows that gargoyles are nocturnal creatures, during the day they sleep in their petrified statue forms upon old buildings such as churches and cathedrals. After sunset the gargoyle will awaken and de-petrify itself, after some exercises due to being stiff for so long, it’ll fly into the forest and obey its 3 instincts:
1st instinct; Hunting, gargoyles feed on small mammals such as mice, they sit on branches scanning for them scurrying on the ground, it will then take off, swoop down, grab it and then land on another branch to feed on its catch.
2nd instinct; Protecting humans, there is a creature known as 'Evil' (physically it resembles a purple mist ball that gets larger and larger) that is dangerous to human societies, it comes from another world (hell) and it travels to our world, gathering in forests (hence why the gargoyles come to the forest) to find and corrupt humans. A gargoyle’s job is to scare away the 'Evil' so that it will shrivel up and return to where it came from in order to protect humans.

3rd instinct; Avoid being seen by humans; although gargoyle protect humans, they must be silent protectors, for a human to see such a creature would really unbalance things, if a human sees a glimpse or hears one, then a gargoyle must hide until they give up searching.

The video ends with showing as the sun begins to rise, the gargoyle return to where it originally was resting to turn back to stone and sleep.

And those are the events I intend to show in my video. Some of it was longer but for timing purposes I had to cut a lot of it out. I still hasn’t timed all of this but I’ll work on that and see if I can fit it all in. I hope I can anyway, the last time i had a project and had to cut a lot out for timing purposes it really ruined the whole thing.

Introduction

I don't feel comfortable posting my real name online but i am comtable enough to say the name to my youtube account, which is beats0me.

I am a university student at Swansea Metropolitan University and am studying 3D computer animation, I am on my third and final ear which is mostly based around my Final Major Project.
The Final Major Project will be a 2 minute video created in Maya (a 3D program we have been using throughout the course), we get some help from lecturers but the project is mostly self-led. Due to which, the project is themed however I wish.

For my Final Major Project I Plan to produce a documentary on the mythological Gargoyle, however treat it as if it were an actual animal. I'll be working on the project all year, so far its still in its pre-production stage, im currently working on cocnept designs ans storyboarding.

Since this is my first post i'll stop here to prevent it from being to long. I hope i'll rmemeber to update when i have good progress in the future.
