SOLACE NOIR - Action Trailer

Inspiration

Inspired by works like Sin City The Joker and Batman. The story is adapted from scenes from a Discord roleplay server that I am a member of.

What it does

This Trailer seeks to illustrate the overacting story of SOLACE NOIR, highlighting some of the high action scenes from the narrative. I also sought to introduce more characters that expand the world in which Detective Franco has to navigate.

In this trailer, unlike my other one, I've opted for no dialogue and gone wirh a more visual style that still evokes the theme.

How we built it

• Writing: most of which is done by myself and my friend on a roleplay server.
• Storyboarding: researching trailer styles and developing a short linear format that escalates.
• Developing characters: using AI to develop distinct character refferences. Lots of fun.
• Starting Frames and composition: using AI to construct cinematic stills
• Generating from Image to Video: this consists finessing and finetuning prompts to create the shot I want. Including camera motion, lighting, subject actions and effects
• Editing: cutting and editing clips down to music.
• Music and Text Elements.

Challenges we ran into

The greatest challenge was working on much shorter time constraints. Keeping it punchy and to the point while introducing key characters and themes without losing coherence.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Im particularly pleased with the style of the the visuals. Ive attempted to keep the tone and lighting similar across all the films in this series. Hopefully that comes across.

What we learned

That I really enjoy this. It has been fun seeing others work and enjoying the various styles and narratives. Its mind-boggling how talented people are.

What's next for SOLACE NOIR - Action Trailer

For now, the story is still ongoing on the Discord Server. More puzzles to solve and more drama to create. In time, id like to think id realise this story in full.
