Court of Gods is a personal writing project I have been leasurely working on for the last few years.
The main theme of the story centers around gods and the cycle of immortality. It follows an anti-hero named Eden, the only avatar of Death, who has to make questionable moral decisions in order to take up his mentor's throne and balance the scales of the pantheon again.
This page goes over a scene I wrote, voice directed and storyboarded for a school project.
Made in Arcweave
The main project was made and edited in Arcweave.
I drew images and added sound effects, including voiced lines, to further prove the concept and add to the tone.

To write a scene I always start with a solid goal in mind.
This scene was meant to be the transition between acts, before the main character goes on a journey of death to reclaim the role of God of Death that was stolen from his master.
Whilst writing I kept in mind the individual characters and their motivations to betray the main character and assasinate their mentor, adding more depth to their reaction than a simple 'Rhaaaa, they are evil gods!'.

To help the voice actors prepare for the recording sessions I handed over character list together with backgrounds and characteristics.
This also helped me during the direction of recording and made sessions run smoothly.
