For the sake of Monochrome, I will do it here. So my inspiration for my Space War epic comes from this soundtrack to Gundam Seed, an anime may I remind you I have not seen at all, but I am certain it will overlap in elements more or less. For my story to make any sense ideally if I was animator I would make actually make my interpreation of this anime's orchestral score. Here I am just gonna link a video and write what I am seeing, and mind you each song in this playlist is part of a whole story I am seeing in my head. But to explain the story, its cliche as fuck, but its through the music that makes it up for it, its not meant to be anything as deep or character driven as George R.R. Martin's work or anything, but its all about tugging your emotions.
The story as I see it is about an independent planet colony that has a fairly strong space fareing military, most prominent is the use of Spaceship fighters (Think Wing Commander, Star Wars X-Wing, and Star Fox) and all the charcaters are human, even the bad guys who are basically a galactic empire eagre for planetary conquest. Our protagonist is a young 20 year old boy who lives on the Independent Planet State and joins the Space Air Force Academy to become a pilot, along with his older Brother (I choose him to be older by 10 years) who essentially acts as his guide since he knows more of the military. Basically the "shit just got real" part of the story happens when the planet does get conquered and our protagonist's older brother died in front his eyes in the initial invasion. And one of the highpoints that our protagonist "becomes a man" basically is when he singlehandedly defied the Empire by piloting his fighter jet and skillfully shot down imperial fighters and destroyed key bases that it inspired the populace to rebel, you see his former academy friends also defying their imperial bosses and hijack other fighters to join with our protagonists. And of course our protagonist finds love through all this because the music has very Romantic tracks.
Which is the whole point is that all this is basically a musical/emotion story. No deeper lore or backstory. as I said if I were to make this visually through animation, there would be no dialoge, and all the actions follows the music accordingly. I would present it like how Fantasia presents its work. Like watch this video of a segment from Fantasia and you will understand (my favorite being the Rite of Spring)

In my next post I fully desrcibe how I interpret a specifc music piece from Gundam Seed to showcase a story event that is part of the whole story I desrcibed to you.
