FMP Pitch
1. The sole purpose of this presentation is to clearly state the target market for
Renaissance, any major information regarding related media and the game
developers and my role in the making of the game.
What is Project Renaissance?
Project Renaissance is a third person stealth historical action adventure game
inspired by Assassins creed based in Tuscany, Italy which places you in control of
young polymath Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci at the time of the Italian
Renaissance in the year 1471. Featuring elements of human dismemberment,
pursuit’s and development, using the materials and knowledge you acquire
throughout history you will equally produce and manipulate the human structure
and crafting resources to bend to your will, allowing for potentially inhuman
characteristics and abilities that appear too unclear to the naked eye.
2. Below is a collection of images from my sketchbook I have provided to
confidently give you an understanding of the work I have been assigned to do in
the creation of Renaissance.
What is your role in all of this?
I have been given the vital task of concept design, my job is to create 4
character profiles, concept art reflecting their personality and movement whilst
displaying them in various different poses and positions. This includes a
refurbished Leonardo da Vinci, Giovanni Bellini, Michelangelo and Lisa
Geraldine.
Here is an example of a character profile for the protagonist, Leonardo da Vinci:

The Da Vinci Code Starring Tom Hanks as Symbolist Robert Langdon was

10. Upon release the screenplay was shunned by critics and many religious believers,
but regardless of the critic’s opinion, the film managed to make a staggering thirty
one million dollars on the night of release. And made it to number one movie in the
box office on the first week of showing grossing over 111 million dollars.
Angels and Demons
The follow up from The Da Vinci code was the most recent Angels and demons
screenplay, giving a more in depth and dark approach to the religious movement.
Although not as successful as its predecessor the film opened with $46
million at the domestic box office. And was the number one most
watched movie in the US box office for two weeks in a row.
There are many existing historical fantasy related TV series but the one that relates
most to the Renaissance concept is the newly formed Da Vinci's Demons, created
by American film director David S. Goyer published by the BBC starring
British film actor Tom Riley as young adult intellectual genius Leonardo Da Vinci.
11. The success of Da Vinci's demons is nothing to quarrel about, receiving an award
for best main title design, music and was nominated for outstanding special effects
with an overall rating of 8.1/10
Although Project Renaissance is based firmly around the dark, gritty, mischievous
life of the famed polymath, when researching the topic I left no stone unturned,
Researching any form of media that links to Leonardo or the Religious movement
in Italy.
Below are examples of other media which focus on the creative side of The Italian
mastermind, ranging from obscure digital online comics to popular children's TV
shows watched by many.
Leonardo
12. Creative and cunning, Leonardo is a child based TV series created by the BBC
which introduces a 16 year old Da Vinci in his hometown of Vinci, Tuscany
sneaking off to impress his friends and heading into his study to focus on his latest
inventions.
Leonardo portrayed by Jonathan Bailey features usual aspects of any children's TV
show, focusing on the positive sides of the character, covering up the more sinister
elements of Da Vinci's past with all the constructive knowledge and gains which
will be useful for a children's lifestyle, with aspects which include:
Healthy Eating - The series follows the theory that Da Vinci was a clean
eater and believed that the slaughter of animals was inhuman. - Several
quotes or what some may belief to be written by Da Vinci suggests he was at
some point a vegetarian.
"Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the
death of others. We are burial places! I have since an early age abjured the use of
meat, and the time will come when men will look upon the murder of animals as
they look upon the murder of man."
Educational Creativity - As well as Exploiting the healthy aspects the
Leonardo series has very successfully applied Da Vinci's inventions and
creative knowledge to both the series and the huge fan base that came with
it, this has since enabled the BBC to create all sorts of fun and creative
products which will help broaden and challenge the minds of the
13. growing viewers.
Marvel Comics
There have been many adaptations of da Vinci to this date but in
comics the one that stands out the most is Marvels Shield agent
Leonardo, Keeping many of the facts about the polymath and
adding new Intel and abilities to match the line-up of the chosen
media.
Da Vinci’s first appearance for Marvel was in the volume titled
“Tales of suspense”, and was presented as part of the Sneepers
saga.
