450 Pt. 2 Winter

Assignment #1:

I found this video a long time ago and was blown away at how amazing this short film is. It has won a few awards here and there and there's no questioning why. I know how to animate but It's really not my favorite thing to do......I can appreciate it and those who love it but that's about it.

For this project you would need to story board it (figure out timing and spacing), draw the characters and setting out, using maya for the setting and character models and animation, create or have someone make your music and something like Final Cut or an editing program. I'm sure this short film took many hours and days to complete into the clean product it turned out to be.

I really love this short film because of how well the music plays into the intense moments and the atmosphere created through the setting and lighting. I would like to steal the simple character design and fantastic characters. At heart I LOVE details and sometimes get carried away and lose focus on the main idea. I'm also begining to figure out how I work creatively in a 3-D sense....I only started 3-D last year so it's all fairly new still.In a modeling sense I would say simple yet bold characters I need to focus on.
