I wrote a mission statement for my animated movie Escape From Planet Omega-12 some time ago but because of the evolving technology of AI and my own growth as a writer and artist, I thought I’d write down a revised version to show just how exciting this project is going to be.
Across the vast gulf of the cosmos, where unknown suns cast strange light upon alien worlds, a new adventure stirs, echoing the very spirit of epic romance and daring beyond human ken. Behold, Escape From Planet Omega-12, a grand tale spun from the imagination of Christopher “Moonlight” Cooksey and the dedicated efforts of co-producer Doug Mayfield. Prepare your soul for passage to a realm of breathtaking wonder and danger.
A planet, raw and untamed, Omega-121 Here, the air itself hums with the promise of unseen conflict and the desperate hope of freedom. It is upon this unforgiving world that Tera, the sole, beautiful survivor of a doomed interstellar voyage, finds herself cruelly marooned. She, a passenger along for the ride, with her beloved husband, the ship's brave captain, had been striving for the miracle of a child. But fate, in its cruelest guise, intervened. In his dying moments, a fatal stab wound in his chest, with a final, desperate act of love, thrust her, clad only in the intimate vulnerability, into an escape pod with their small, loyal robot assistant, BLIP. Perishing on the violent descent, his last breath exhaled into the void. Now, while their ghost-haunted ship, crewed by the dead, circles tantalizingly beyond her reach, Tera must brave a world teeming with bizarre and dangerous life forms, sustained only by the meager contents of her escape pod. Her only companions in this terrifying ordeal, the steadfast BLIP and a most wondrous, gelatinous entity that, by some cosmic miracle, has absorbed the very consciousness of her departed husband, offering a bittersweet connection to the love she lost. Yet, a shadow lengthens across her path; a secret enemy, the very fiend who murdered her husband and crew, stalks the planet, deploying relentless killer robots, drones, and mutants. Tera's quest is not merely to survive the alien flora and fauna, but to escape this perilous sphere before she is discovered and hunted down by a relentless, unseen foe.
How shall such a magnificent saga unfold before your very eyes? By a wondrous melding of artistry and ingenuity, bringing forth visions unlike any seen since the golden age of heroic tales. Christopher Moonlight commands the delicate dance of AI-driven motion capture and animation to lend breathtaking realism to every desperate struggle and every subtle gesture of emotion, as well as practical effects, intricate miniatures and puppets, giving tangible form to the towering structures, the bizarre fauna, and the very alien atmosphere of this desolate sphere. This is a tapestry woven with threads of old magic and new marvel, creating a visual spectacle that will truly transport you to another world and make your heart ache with Tera's plight.
This grand escapade is being crafted for those noble hearts who yearn for true adventure, for the romantics who dream of distant stars and daring deeds of courage and sacrifice. If your spirit thrills to tales where profound love meets unimaginable peril, where courageous souls defy overwhelming odds on exotic worlds, then Escape From Planet Omega-12 calls to you. With voices of renowned talents lending their power to these courageous figures, you will find yourself utterly captivated by their plight and inspired by their quest.
