Option 6 - The Forgotten Classroom

Sunlight filters through dusty windows of an abandoned classroom. Desks are overturned, chalkboards half-erased, and ivy creeps through cracked walls. A faint draft causes the hanging light fixture to sway. On one desk, an old projector suddenly flickers on, displaying ghostly notes or images from decades past.

This cutscene will be the first introduction to the chaos happening in the outside world after being ravaged by the apocalypse. The main character of the cutscene is a monster that flies by the classroom which knocks everything over a few seconds later. The monster is massive but produces little to no noise except the crashing sound in its wake. The cutscene shows the danger outside, and massive predators that sweep through the city silently.

There will be multiple items to be modeled in the scene, such as the creature, desks, chalk, leaves, the building, plants, and paper. The building, chairs, and the leaves will require more special attention because they will show up most in the scene. The creature, the leaves, and the paper will be rigged,  but only the creature will require a more indepth rig. The leaves and paper will need to bend and adjust to the wind, while the creature will need to be able to beat its wings.

The layout of the scene will be an abandoned classroom that has clearly been affected by the weather. Most of the items in the scene will be strewn throughout the room, but mostly along the sides. The camera will be placed in the back of the room facing the windows and whiteboard. The layout of the room allows for many of the objects to fly off screen and away from the windows.
