STORYBOARD ILLUSTRATIONS

Storyboards need to convey the look and feel of the game to present to developers. The mission in the game is to get to the Capitol building when the helicopters comes in to rescue living humans from the zombies infected with the Dead Cell virus. This is an apocalyptic tale from a first person shooter perspective with story line scenes in between levels. There needs to be sniper perches, the Capitol building, greenhouses for a food source to keep up your energy levels, munitions building to restock on ammo/weapons and areas to hide out or take cover like former school buildings, warehouses and even sandbags. Please include UI overlays on screens.
