Blood On My Hands
Project Overview
Thank you very much for checking out my project!
The story of this 3D animation made in Autodesk Maya is set in Yemen and follows our main protagonist Jamal, who is trying to find help for his injured sister.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROLES:
1. JAMAL - 15 years old boy. Preferred age is young adult and teen.
2. NABIL - 40-50 years old war veteran. Middle age or senior will do the job :)
3. FATHER - Jamal's father - sad man with difficult past. Middle age/senior
4. SISTER of the main protagonist. She gets hurt in airstrike and needs help. Child/Teen/Young Adult
5. ELDER WOMAN - Middle age/Senior, also Young Adult is welcomed to apply :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The project is not paid - I am just a student without any budget, but you will be a part of something bigger and important.
In Yemen:
- people are selling their houses and cars in order to get food
- Airstrikes often hit civil targets (wedding, school bus, funeral...) and leaves hundreds of dead
- is the biggest cholera outbreak in our history and now, the coronavirus just makes all even worse
- Over 13 milion are on the brink of famine
- 1/3 of the country is controlled by Al-Quida
- Children are left without education...
This animation will raise awareness about this issue... at least a little bit

YOUR ROLE IS JAMAL:
HOME (father, Jamal)
FATHER: ... snoring …
JAMAL: … breathing tired …
FATHER (unsure): “Wh..what happened?”
JAMAL (determined): “Airstrike... we need to take her to hospital, right now.”
FATHER (sad, please say it quickly): “Jamal, you know we just sold our car so we have money for food… for us, there is no way how to get her there.”
JAMAL (hopeful): „Maybe I could ask Nabil? He helped get her here, maybe he would take her to Sanaa hospital as well?”
FATHER(angry, please say it quickly): “No! I already told you can’t spend time with Nabil and militants like him! They are the reason why is all of this happening! And do you think he would help you for free? NO… he would want you to fight for them, and you cannot do that, never! DO you understand?“
FATHER(regretful): ”Oh Jamal, I am sorry… there is one more thing we can do… wait me here and take care of her. I will ask the elders… I’ll be back at midnight“
HOME (Jamal, father, sister)
JAMAL: … breathing while sleeping
JAMAL: … short scream (while getting shot in a nightmare).
JAMAL: ….waking up from the nightmare with rapid breathing, but gradually calming down and breathe longer…
JAMAL (very quietly, unsure): “What…?“
FATHER(devastated): “I… am sorry… so sorry... no… (breathing rapidly)… I have to... “
JAMAL(surprised, scared): “What are you doing? Dad?“
FATHER(talking quietly): ”It’s the only way…“
JAMAL(louder): “Dad? No, dad! She needs to go to a hospital! To see a doctor!“
FATHER(dramatic): “I… I can’t…“
JAMAL (desperate): “she… she has probably broken ribs… she needs help…“
FATHER: “And I will help her!“
JAMAL: “No!“
FATHER (shouting): “LET IT GO!“
FATHER: …grunt angrily…
JAMAL (fighting): …EGH…
JAMAL (hurt while falling): “Aah.”
SISTER(confused): “Dad?“
FATHER (crying): “I-I am sorry”…
JAMAL “I know someone who could help us… hopefully“
Military base (Jamal, Nabil)
JAMAL (calling loudly): “NABIL?”
NABIL: “Jamal?”
JAMAL (quietly): “Nabil..”
NABIL: “I am so sorry for your sister but Jamal… the thing is, everyone in this country has problems, everyone wants our help. But we don’t have resources to help everyone.“
JAMAL (hopeless): …sigh…
NABIL: “So we have this strict rule – we help only our members, our fighters. For you, the only way how to help your sister is to join us.“
NABIL (empathetic): …sigh…
NABIL: “We are fighting for a better world, to ensure than no one suffers like your family.”
NABIL: “We will learn you anything, we have younger soldiers than you-“
JAMAL (determined): “I will do anything, just help her.“
Desert (Jamal, Nabil)
NABIL: “Goddamn… the road is blocked. It wasn’t there a few days ago.”
NABIL (angry): “Our enemies… they had to detonate the mountain. They attack on our infrastructure, so they could cut us out of food and help. This is exactly why we need to fight them!”
JAMAL (hopeless): “So… what will we do now?“
NABIL: “The hospital is just a few kilometres from us but… We cannot go further, there is no other way. I am sorry Jamal.“
JAMAL (sad): “No……….”
JAMAL (hopeful): “and what about that road?”
NABIL: “That’s… not our territory. It’s controlled by… extremist, organization doing evil, twisted things. It’s out of question we go there.“
JAMAL: “So I’ll walk.“
NABIL: “Jamal…“
JAMAL (angry, determined): “You promised you would help!... we are so close. I am not turning back now!“
NABIL: …sigh… “Your sister has no chance now. In this heat, you cannot make it.“
JAMAL: “I don’t care.“
NABIL: “Wait, just… take this. Do you know how to use it?“
JAMAL: “Is there anybody in this country who doesn’t?“
FIGHT (Jamal, sister, soldiers)
JAMAL (tired): …eght… breathing heavily…
JAMAL (whispering, surprised): “Huh”
JAMAL (panicking): “Oh no… we have to hide!”
JAMAL (Explaining quickly): “That car… we need it…it’s our only hope.”
SISTER (weak voice): “No… don’t go… stay here… please…. please…”
JAMAL (around 15 sec): Breathing rapidly, scared, full of adrenaline
JAMAL (shooting and missed the shot): “eght…“
JAMAL: …breathing hopeful…
JAMAL (being shot at): “Ah…”
JAMAL (shooting): “Ehhh…”
JAMAL (FPS view, breathing is gradually speeding up, around 30 sec): …breathing scared…
JAMAL (long breathe out - disappointed no ammos): “Eh----”
