Project Brief
This CG video is derived from the classic IP, 'Delta Force' series, successfully inherits the essence of the original spirit while introducing innovative perspectives on contemporary warfare through visual artistry. This endeavour aims to deepen the storyline involving the game's characters and enhance the players' emotional engagement.
The narrative centres on the dynamics of confrontation and collaboration among the three factions: Delta Force, Asala, and Havok. It explores the nationalistic mania exhibited by Asala's leadership, the covert machinations of Havok's elite group, and, ultimately, the belief and perseverance inherent in the GTI warriors. This multifaceted depiction illustrates the intricacies of political games and the complexities of human nature, providing not only an overview of the game universe and interpersonal relationships among characters but also reinforcing the overarching theme of safeguarding peace.
Project Innovation/Need
The narrative structure of this CG video deviates from traditional protagonist archetypes and heroic representations, shifting focus to the developmental journey of two antagonistic figures. Through intricate psychological portrayals and multifaceted plots, the video explores their journies of survival, struggle, and choice amidst adversity, thereby enriching the narrative depth and enhancing the full development of the characters.
Utilizing the montage technique, the video seamlessly and dynamically integrates key events and characters' emotional states through alternating sequences across different time, space and emotion contexts. This stylistic choice amplifies visual impact and emotional tension, thereby underscoring the story's tense atmosphere and its multi-layered narrative architecture.
A unified colour palette and strategic use of light and shade are employed, accompanied by a strive for visual focuses in composition and layout, collectively achieving a highly coordinated visual style. This approach not only intensifies the atmospheric quality of the scenes but, combined with Unreal Engine rendering, creates realistic depictions of warfare scenes, resulting in a coherent expression of the narrative's emotional tone.
Design Challenge
The foremost challenge of this project lies in balancing the inheritance and innovation of the classic Delta Force IP while articulating the intricate backgrounds of multiple factions within a constrained video duration.
In light of the tight schedule and substantial workload, the team efficiently coordinated all facets of the project to ensure that every detail was presented to an exemplary standard. Through comprehensive research into the original IP's narrative background and fundamental elements, the team guaranteed that the original work's essence was faithfully represented, demonstrating both understanding and respect.
Building upon this base, new characters and plotlines were introduced, with a strong emphasis on the interactions and conflicts among different factions, expertly conveyed through the meticulous design of scenes and dialogues. Moreover, the montage technique was employed to efficiently illustrate the motivations and relationships of each faction in the short CG video, thereby enhancing the players' comprehension of character motives and narrative development, facilitating a deeper reflection on human nature and morality.
Effectiveness
This game CG video demonstrates the interconnected evolution of multiple factions, showcasing the individual's moral dilemmas and transformation amidst extreme conditions. It also highlights the hypocrisy of the elite class and the struggles faced by the masses, thereby inspiring players to develop a profound desire for peace through an immersive experience. The creative team aims to employ video as a digital medium to subtly embed these core values within the players' concepts.
