A toy bird brings hope.
An animated micro-short film I had the opportunity to work on. The story tells of a cherished little toy bird finding that their owner, Ann, had taken her own life. The toy bird, carrying all the cherished, happy memories, pulls Ann from the depths of darkness and helps Ann find her light again.
I was responsible for Modeling, Texturing, Lighting and Rendering on this project.
The layout of our 3D environment. I was responsible for the 3D modeling of the majority of objects in this scene. Our design needed to look cluttered, unkempt and overall uncomfortable to convey that the protagonist living in this environment is not in a good headspace.

Some of the textures I worked on. The cupcake was especially challenging as we had to fake the subsurface scattering of the paper wrap. I especially like how the books turned out.
Some of the lighting references for our scene.
We were aiming for the scene to take place during that time just before dawn with a very slight lean towards unsettling or uncanny vibes.
