The Glare | 3D Animated Short Film

240 hours later I can proudly present my Examination project at Visual Magic. My goal was to create a short film from scratch to final product with facial animation and storytelling as main focus. I have never done an acting shot before so this was a good challenge but a fun one, especially since it's 50 sec long of main character animation. I'm quite satisfied with what I've accomplished during this amount of time and my current skillset. For those wondering, I've downloaded the character Daniel from ProRigs to save time. He had some bugs but nothing that couldn't be solved. I didn't model anything neither to save time and instead focus on the animation, layout, shading, lighting and final edit. All in all I'm proud to share this with you and I hope you find the film captivating. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you've any questions or thoughts!
