The Awoken is based upon a novel I began writing over 5 years ago. The novel began at a very different position and, the Awoken picks up alot further into the story. The original idea began as a novel and then with my passion for graphic novels I wanted to illustrate it. Having started several illustrations in ink and paint it kinda evolved into an area of cgi. I then began toying with the idea of turning it into an animated cgi project. The complete ideal would of been a mixture of film and cgi.
Unfort. for one person to try and create an entire (even short) movie entirely alone is almost near impossible and movies in general are very expensive and time consuming. Having a very limited amount of time spare and very restricted financial backing (none) caused me to give up the whole project and i just began kicking stones down the street.
Having a passion for creating, writing and art, ( and having spent the passed 20 years as a professional craftsman) this has kind of always been close to my heart and on my bucket list of things to do, I decided to just use a few free graphic software mediums I had found and had to try and work on the idea again. If even with very limited resources and time I thought I could at least storyboard the idea and thus allow it to develop a little further. This will and has helped the characters and entire story itself to evovle.
Some of the software I am using are: Blender, Hexagon, Bryce, Jasc, daz3d, Fireworks
