VFX first shot

Today we were put in groups to come up with 30-40 second clip with VFX elements in it. We decided we would each come up with an idea then we would pick the best one out of them.
          After some careful consideration we came up with:
1. A slow motion special effect, with people dodging bullets and doing flips in slo mo.
2. control of the elements, so being able to control water, fire, earth, and air.
3. fantastic 4 esque squad so we would make someone like each character (invisibility, fire control, stretch and turning skin to rock.
4. Parkhour with slo-motion and explosions used while people are freerunning.
5. Space - so anything from star wars blasters to having someone floating through space like gravity.
6. Jumper esque special effect so with teleporting and use of slo mo for certain parts.
         We discussed the ideas then decided on the Jumper effect as it seems the most interesting and isn't too difficult to implement into our clip.
We went around the college taking pics of where we are going to shoot our VFX scenes. we took into careful consideration where we would have our scenes because you cannot move the camera in the scenes where we are using VFX.



We then came up with a storyboard for how our clip will play out. each of us came up with our own storyboard then took the best parts out of all of them to make the final piece as shown below:

"Main character walks down the corridor and gets confronted and boxed in by 4 people.

these people found the antagonist and are holding them over the second floor railing because maybe the protagonist owed them money or didn't do something they were supposed to for moral reasons etc..

The character would then manage to get out of their grasp and fall to the floor but jump at the last moment (obviously), to the elevator and try to hide from them on the 1st floor

First person goes to throw the first hit and the main character teleports behind him and starts to take on all 4 people at once taking advantage of his/her abilities.

After 3 people are beaten down, the last ambusher gets punched through a wall.

Camera looks at the 4 people that have been defeated and switches back to the main character. The main
character fall to his knees as he is exhausted and overheated *particle effect radiating from person*"

personally i think it is going to be great and I hope the rest of my group has the same enthusiasm!

Update: We have decided to go against all the fighting scenes instead it is a chase through the college with teleporting.
