Daughter of Hell rough draft for animation trailer
Written by Julio Grandela
Setting
- Undead / Cybernetic Wasteland
- Massive vents keep the land in a constant fog ; "Land of Mists"
- The grounds are littered with corpses, obsolete machinery, massive
cables and landlines, satellite installations, antennae arrays, various
power plants, etc. It should have a feeling of a futuristic, abandoned
city on a grand scale.
- What light there is should be either artificial or magical in nature
(Fog and poor lighting makes normal vision and even thermo graphic
vision
difficult)
of all three
( Gives a "cybernetic" feeling and gradually reveals different
aspects of
the landscape descriptively)
- Scene shifts briefly to second person, giving you a glimpse of Hel
before
the camera moves internally
-Follow Hel's pulse (match with beat of music) from partially
artificial
heart to throbbing veins in her bloodshot eye
-Scene shifts to swiftly moving Hel who "pounces" on intruding
Valhalla
phalanx
-Flying elbow drop to Viking 1's skull (artificial arm)
-There should be an audible and exaggerated jolt from the blow (neck
breaking, x-ray flash, etc.)
-Turns to deflect quick drawn blade (Viking 2)
-Grabs blade and punches width, breaking sword
-Viking 2 head butts/throws shoulder
-Hel swings still held blade while falling back, slitting V2's throat
-Hel hit's the ground and before she can so much as flinch, Viking 3
ground thrusts with sword, stabbing Hel just above breast
-Hel's artificial arm "morphs"; it ripples and splits into
tendrils which snake up sword and V3
-Tendrils bridge and thrust into V3's mouth. Tendrils pierce in
different directions out of V3's neck and twist, severing head
-The whole movement is done while pulling herself to her feet, using
the momentum to fling the decapitated head before knocking the body
away
-Viking 4 charges from behind with axe. Hel throws herself backwards
into him while grabbing the hilt of the sword still in her and shoves
the blade further thru herself, impaling and killing V4
-Hel pulls out the sword and heals regenerative
-Vikings rise from the dead, standing with Hel against the rest of the
phalanx
-Finishing Sequence
-View returns to Hel's vision which reverses from the electronic
enhancements and then worsens (one of her eyes rots out)
-Pan to bloodshot eye which whitens
-Previous journey from the artificially enhanced heart plays in reverse
-Pan to heart which loses cybernetic half and decays
-Journey back to face shot showing her rotting inside out
-Hel is on the ground, face down, head lifts to face camera
-Face is half "undead"
-Camera backs away from Hel until "Cyber Hel's" walking legs come
into view. Camera slowly moves up body until Cyber Hel's face is in
view
(Hel is half-dead and half alive down the center, cutting her in two
halves, until this scene her dead half was cybernetic ally enhanced.
Here the nanotechnology has separated from her and has achieved
sentience, leaving the goddess with a half undead body
-Intermixed Cutscenes that can be added in
-Other realms
-The world tree and the midgard serpent
-valkeryies and Odin
-Norse pantheon
-Loki bound
-Hel's and Odin's Halls
-Valhalla
-Fenrir is a key figure
