Major project/ Pre-production

The story is taking place in contemporary Greece, in December 2012, and the location of the clip is the Ancient Greek Temple of Poseidon, in Cape Sounion.

The protagonist of the clip is the Ancient Greek God Poseidon who will confront one of his archenemies, a Dark Archangel.

The background story is that the time has come for the return of the Gods of the Ancient Greek Pantheon. The storyline is based on the premise that the One God that took over the world from the Old Gods was not the benevolent Supreme Being, but the so-called Demiurge (meaning ‘Creator’ in Greek) who was flawed and corrupt, leading the world into a spiral of darkness. After centuries of degeneracy and decadence, people have begun to return to the Old Gods in increasing numbers. As a result, the Old Gods are now gaining back their powers and are returning in order to fight the Dark Demiurge in an epic battle for the world.
A story that a good friend of mine, John Haygood, and I developed some time ago.
These are some early character concepts featuring the ancient gods living among us with contemporary clothing.
