So it's going on 3 years now since Black Sun teased the world with an amazing 5 minute proof of concept which is hopefully being made into a feature length film and game now.
If you haven't seen it already, check out proof of concept.
Amazing, right?
Anyway, like it on facebook and youtube or contact the team at http://azureusrising.com/ to show your support.
There's a big back story to this project, while the short above basically plays out like an action sequence in a longer movie. In case you want to know, our blue (azure?) protagonist is Eric, known as Azureus once he becomes a freedom fighter. From what I've seen and read, this feels like a possible Dune of a new age. And I love Dune, so this is a good thing. You've got your crazy smart, strong, and resourceful rebel leader breaking into a place overrun by military.
Amazing sound, great pacing. I love how you can hear the protagonist's breathing, and how the shots are quick. Not incredibly long ago you could have a single shot go on for a long time, but now shots are kept relatively quick. There's lots of reasons for this, the one you probably hear the most is because it holds the audience's attention better. Regardless of everything else, these shorter shots do hold attention well, which is a big factor in a proof of concept. I could sing the praises of this project all day. I really hope something becomes of it.
