FIRST PART
A woman in a space suit holds a joystick trying to take control of her craft, a man is yelling instructions off camera, the name on her suit says Savannah. Cut to a title card. The ship is rattling and bucking violently, a red orange glow erupts from the bottom of the ship followed by a trail of smoke. Cut to another title card. A hand flips switches on a console above, condensation slowly forms over the buttons, a woman yells back what she is doing. Cut to another title card. Savannah clenches the joystick tightly; both her and the captain pull back hard. On the outside of the ship the reverse thrusters ignite. Cut to the title "Europa". A loud crash sound emits followed by a static hiss. Savannah wakes up, the captain next to her isn't moving. She starts to shake him then stops realizing he is dead she turns to look for the rest of the crew, all lost, the back of the ship was crushed, she is the only survivor.…
An animatic of the first minute and a segment near the end of my next film Europa. The jump between segments happens around 1:05. Comments appreciate :D

Once again I am posting a how-to from my film Once and Never Again or as it may later be called The Lift. In this shot there isn't much animation, but there are a lot of effects. The premise of the film is an elevator experience gone wrong, a cautionary tale about holding the elevator door for people.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
