Animated Short

  • Erika Baunach

For my character animation module, I created this animated short using Autodesk Maya and various models/rigs found for free online (full list of works used in the video's description). This project was tedious but after familiarizing myself with the software I was able to create this final animation. The short itself is about a student's inevitable defeat after working with a program that crashes, a relatable moment for anyone that has worked in this field of work.

And below are some process work for this project including quick facial/pose studies, storyboards and mini-thumbnails.
