And so it begins . . . .

Here at chanimation I, Chani am going to be making my very first machinima.

Over the course of this project I shall be blogging my progress for all to see and to keep a record of all my doings.

So far a basic outline for the story has been created (but not named) and first drawings of the main character (also not named) have come to life. When i get around to cleaning it up a little bit I shall post them.

The overall feel of my machinima will be a combination of comedy, suspence and thriller/horror (depending on how much gore I get around to making) in the style of film noir. I going to try and keep sequences low key and of course all in black and white. Although I have been thinking about having certain items in vibrant colors, “Sin City” style. It will be all very 1950's, I'm yet to decide wether it will be placed in America or Australia yet.

The machinima centers around the main character, for now I'll just call her "Miss X" until I figure out something more suiting. Miss X wakes up and hears a woman screaming. The machinima will follow her until she finds the source of the screaming. Along the way many unfortunate events occur which dampen her spirits and in turn she gives up on trying to find the screaming woman. Little does she know that she will find the source of the screaming anyway.

I'm not sure if I want to outline the whole entire story just yet. I want it still to be a surprise for people when they watch it.
