Motion Capture
The starting point of the whole brainstorming excercise, or the seed of the idea was a very abstract poem called the "Orion". Here is how the poem looked like:
Week 02 - Brainstorming and Storytelling Techniques
After reading the poem (for several times), I picked up five key elements, and started building my thought clouds around it.
Trying to sort and bring these random thoughts in a single point, I started looking for patterns. There were a lot of words that describe an exotic destination, for e.g. beaches, mexico, casino. I also had a lot of characters, i.e. entrepreneur, thief, etc. Trying to make some sense out of all of this here is what came out.
The Casino Theft

The casino is also known for its adjoining pub, which sells cheap beer. One day, a group of thieves break through the casino security, causing massive cross-fire and finally reach Tesla's office. The owner still looks relaxed, dipped in his arrogance while the thieves look focused to get what they came for.
