1. Project Context:
We have a Harry Potter-themed quest in Lyon, where players must light five torches in the correct order using the sixth torch they take from the stand (the other 5 torches are stationary). Players find it difficult to understand how to correctly position the torch they hold in their hand in front of the wall torch sensors (5) to light them. To solve this issue, we want to create an animated video that shows players how to do it.
2. Animation Goal:
Create an explanatory animated video that will play in a loop and visually demonstrate to players how to use the torch to light other lanterns in the room. The video style should resemble the living paintings from the Harry Potter saga.
3. Animation Description:
- Animation Duration: Approximately 1 minute, looped.
- Scene:
- Fixed frame with a decorated beautiful throne.
- Wall torch (extinguished) fixed on the wall to the left of the throne.
- Character:
- Wizard in a cloak enters the frame from the right side a few seconds after the start of the animation.
- Wizard holds a lit torch in hand.
- Actions:
- Wizard lights the wall torch with his torch, pointing it in the right direction.
- Wall torch ignites.
- The wizard then places the torch he had in his hand in a special place (its stand, which will also be on the wall to the right in the initial frame).
- He sits on a chair and remains seated for about 20 seconds, looking around.
- After 20 seconds, the wizard gets up, takes the wall torch from its place, and exits to the right.
- The wizard exits the frame, the wall torch extinguishes after a few seconds.
- The animation starts again.
4. Technical Requirements:
