wonder
A Family friendly fantastical 2D and 3D Animated short film. For this project I was the Producer and Director.
Logline: A grieving young girl gets lost and ends up in a strange fantastical world where she receives help from her lost one’s spirit to guide her home.
Concept Art
Color plays an important role in this film which is why I created a color script. The colors and its transition in the world are a reflection of the characters mental growth throughout the journey. I have done research into how films have used color in the past and how I can use these techniques to my advantage. In my research document I explain my choices thoroughly and you can view it below.
Environments
Throughout this film I have been making use of both 2D and 3D techniques. The backgrounds in this film and its assets are 2D painted whereas the foreground is mostly 3D creating a theatre set like environment. I made use of a lot felt and clay textures creating a world that feels other. During this Project I had some help with modeling Interior environments from the amazing Gergana Slavcheva and some help from Nursima Dag for coloring the 2D Backgrounds.
Animation
Throughout this project I made use of 2D character animation in a 3D environment.
