The Spell – Short Film

Characters and animations for a collaborative fantasy short film.

Software

  • Blender
  • DaVinci Resolve

Overview
A 2 minute 3D animated film that our group of 6 students created for our main 3rd year project at the Open Window Institute.

My role
I designed and modeled the two characters, rigged and textured the creature character, and animated 2 out of 9 shots. Additionally, I handled project management, provided environment assistance, and was responsible for lighting and compositing all the shots.

Final Outcome
The project was a success, winning the “Pangolin Award” for “Best Animated Film” at the Open Window Institute. It was a rewarding experience, and I learned a great deal about the intricacies of animated filmmaking while working with a fantastic team.
