Mars Effect

An animation project we did in school. I think this was my first scripted animation with a real story
arc. I modelled all the human characters, animated some scenes and did smoke effects and compositing.
It was made and rendered in Blender. Compositing was done in Blender and After Effects.
The script, pacing and storytelling should have used more work in the beginning (it was pretty hard to make any changes to it in the middle of a production), but we learned a lot; next time the story will be better fleshed out in preproduction.

Also we came third in the Assembly short film compo which was pretty nice :).

Call of Cthulhu teaser

I did this animation for an english class about an year ago, our object was to create a lovecraft themed animation. I drew inspiration from the novel Call of Cthulhu and tried to create a dreamlike experience, where the viewer gets sucked into the world of the sleeping Cthulhu. Animation was created in 3ds max (cthulhu in zbrush) and took about 2 weeks to make (including render times), sounds are from freesound.org.

When I look at it now I think I should have spent more time lighting the scene (it's too dark!) and should have modeled more (and better looking!) plants to fill the seabed.

 This was a school project I did with my friend in 2009. My job was to conceptualize, model and texture everything. I think it took about 3-4 months work, we we're working in a game studio at the time and worked on the animation in our free time.
It was my first time modeling hipoly so I learned a lot of the progress. Also this was my first project where I learned to use specular maps (though you can't really see it because of the somewhat bland lighting).

Programs I used: 3ds Max 2009 & Photoshop
