Close-to-final version of the gun.
The character of Denny holding one of his high tech laser guns.
I built a crude model of the gun in Maya to get a better idea of how it'll truly look.
It's supposed to operate/work like an oversized handcrank camera.
The shoulder brace isn't added to the model yet, so it looks pretty weird.
The Gun. It's about the size of an HD film camera (HD film cameras that you'd find on a film set, not the small ones you'd find at J&R).

I changed the title of Beam to The Shortcut because it just works better. It's a title that will work two-fold after you watch the film, on a thematic and literal level.
I don't know if I'll use the head on the left for a character. Maybe the bank manager. Or a bank customer.
Early sketches for The Shortcut. It's a sci-fi heist comedy thing. An oddity, I know.
