Short Story
3D Animation
Having completed my illustrations early I decided that it would be a challenge to animate the story in 3D. It was my forst attempt at 3D animation so I was pretty much learning on the fly how to do everything.
I worked on the animation every hour that I could stay awake for 2 weeks. I built the two human characters which had to be modeled, rigged with bones, skin weights and controls, and textured. I created the full tunnel environment for the characters to interact in which again had to be modeled, textured and light to create realistic shadows and highlights. It took nearly 2 weeks just to build the models, which left me with very little time to create the animation.
The final animation is more of a pilot than a finished piece. Hopefully it conveys the feel of the story and what would be possible with more time.
