For the second half of my internship at 'The Duque', I decided to make a project which resembles who I am and what I can do.
I wanted to make an animation that would combine my entire current skill set: illustration, world-building, storytelling and animation.
I wanted to make an animation that would combine my entire current skill set: illustration, world-building, storytelling and animation.
In order to do this I decided to make a short animated 'trailer' for a non existing game or animated series. I would start completely from scratch, and dream up a whole new world filled with interesting places, characters and stories. I wrote a script and made a storyboard for the animation that would take place in this world.
The next step was to give shape to this world in the form of a map and illustrations. Once this was done I was ready to animate the entire thing. When the visual aspect was complete, only a narrator and music remained to be added. Which I did myself.
This project is a completely self-made animation, build from the ground up. It is meant to show people what I can do on my own in relatively little time. Hopefully this will give an impression of what I would be able to do with a whole team beside me.
