This scene

Working in hybrid 2d and 3d animation this semester I created a narrative short animation using this technique about a nature spirit that spreads throughout vegetation in a yard to pursue a common goal.

For this semester I continued my work in 2d/3d hybrid animation, focusing my efforts on creating an animated short. It’s about a nature spirit taking over and spreading through vegetation in a yard as they set out to a common location in the house. This short touches on the mysterious properties nature has in many cultures and places, as well as using this to touch on the fact that nature naturally reclaims it’s surroundings without up keep.

Over the course of the semester I developed an idea focusing on the struggles of employees at a future theme park using a combination of 2d and 3d animation. I wanted to contrast the craziness of the environment with common workplace struggles. The 3d models helped in giving the scenes depth, where I could express the employees a lot better in 2d vector lines.

I’m using 2d character animation and hybrid 2d/3d environments to create varied scenes around a futuristic theme park that explores escapism and who has to work in order to maintain that escape. My primary focus is on the absurdity of this future park and how this frames the struggle of the workers.

The absurdity of the location lends to more absurd struggles for the employees of this theme park, and this struggle is my primary focus.
