Previz for a new Deus Ex cel-shaded animated fanfilm I've been working on for a few years now, focusing on the events in the computer game where JC Denton has to escape UNATCO prison and fight off against Anna Navarre.

This is a playblast straight out of Autodesk Maya using temp character models in layout animation form to get the story beats across, with a rough audio pass using temp music and synthesized dialogue audio.

There's a lot of work still needed to help get this short film made, hopefully this video will inspire artists to want to help out.

Extra Work Needed:
- Character Animation
- Voice Acting
- Music
- Sound Effects
- Visual Effects
- Background Art
