As the deadline approaches, I realized we might not be able to complete all the content we originally planned. To ensure the successful submission of the final film, we decided to adjust the pace of the entire story — cutting out a large portion of the dialogue from the first half. We will start directly from the climax of the story, focusing on showcasing our content. We sacrificed some of the narrative to ensure the completion of the final product.
For the mech model, I completed a portion of it (which is a fairly complex model). Since the mech’s feet appear in multiple shots in the story, the design of its feet was my primary focus. I added numerous hydraulic rods to showcase the weight and mechanical aspect of the mech. I also included many common linkages to downplay its high-tech appearance.
This was also my first time dealing with such a large-scale mechanical structure model, and I had to ensure its movability and adherence to real-world logic. I added a plethora of devices to meet the mobility requirements of the mech. I have now passed this mech model to JIAWEI, who will be responsible for implementing the subsequent linkage mechanisms.
