I enjoy watching sci-fi films and anime so I was interested in the Soul Users project as it seemed to cover both these aspects.
Soul Users is set in a futuristic city, similar to the setting in Blade Runner. It follows the two protagonists Cole Bunker and Connie McDonnell who are cops working for a special crime division. The plot starts of with them standing on top of a skyscraper looking below at the city when they get a call to fight a new species of monster. Cole has powers which he prefers not to use due to his inner battle that he is better than his powers. However, when his partner Connie almost gets killed, he is forced to use his powers and learns that it is okay for him to rely on his powers at times and that he doesn't have to fight alone.
I wanted to take the opening shot when Cole and Connie are looking out from the skyscraper as that scene is important in distinguishing their different personalities and it also requires some lip sync animation which would be a bonus to add to my show-reel. My scene in particular consists of Connie looking around at the buildings quite energetically and intrigued while Cole stands beside her bored and playing about with his powers by flipping a coin into the air(the coin is also a creation from his powers).
Below are initial storyboards I have done for my shots.
