So I always wanted to get into the world of sfm animation although the bugs and glitches in sfm is not something I am looking forward to as seen through Lazy purple's sfm video and I figured i need a general idea of things like the story, characters and I also need to learn how to use sfm .
I want to create a drama sfm short of a 4-6 minutes with characters from the tf2 universe including ones featured exclusively in the tf2 comics and it will have no dialogue whatsoever only relying on what's shown on screen to tell the story and to develop the characters so I have to write my script in a dialogue less manner.
The story idea is not terribly complex as this is my first attempt at doing this.
This story will feature Dell Conagher(The engineer)and Marianne Hale now his adoptive daughter living in his ranch in the middle of Nowhere in West of Dallas Texas because Saxton Hale her father died after Gray Mann caused his death in a plane bombing over Barbados on a flight to Cuba to take over Mann Co and Dell lost his job as did the rest of the team because of it.
Where I want the conflict to be is that one day she catches Pneumonia and becomes fatally ill and Dell tries to cure her by using one of his machines and how he struggles to keep her alive.
I have both Garrys mod ,Blender ,and Vegas Pro installed on my PC so I should have a lot of artistic freedom in terms of how I want to do things like for example custom models if I need to make those and I also have Krita + a Wacom S drawing tablet for good measure if I need to draw anything for any reason such as storyboarding even if I am not that good at it.
What do you think of this story idea?
*edit* I have now started working on my script
