SCRAPS | Diploma final Project / 2D-3D Hybrid Short

omg
I can finally upload this
haaaaa this was a lot of fun but a lot of work too haha
This short was created as my final project for my Diploma studies at SAE institute and I was really happy how it turned out!
I finished it in july but couldn't upload it yet because I sent it in as a contender for a media convention- sadly it didn't win anything
Meet Zoki and Ayaan, two lil bird guys who hunt machines left by the long extinct human species for resources and bounty rewards!
In this world birds were the least affected by humans polluting the environment and due to the atmosphere being too toxic to fly they evolved into a bipedal and flightless civilization. Some still view the remnants of humankind as holy and worship the scraps of the old ages but others like our duo break them down to build their lives.
In this short Ayaan accepted a request to hunt down a raging driller whale that sunk countless ships and terrorizes coastal cities and finally they encounter the culprit after a long time at sea.
I really want to work on their world and story more in the future so I hope you enjoy the glimpse into their rowdy lives!
The 2D-Animated characters were created in Clip Studio Paint
The background assets were modelled and animated in Maya, textured in Adobe Substance Painter
The ocean was simulated using Blender and everything was edited together in Adobe After Effects
I do have a 10-minute breakdown presentation video for this project but it's in german haha
Let me know if you're interested in seeing the complete progress of it's production and I'll whip up some english subtitles and share the presentation!

Commenting before and after first impressions. 😌 Edit: Beautiful, and I usually really get pulled out by 3D or rotoscoping etc. I really need to get something designed because I need to commission something one of these days.

[@Frostysp4c3]

wow!! you always have amazing works but this on its own level!! i love the way you animated the (water and) emotions and intensities of the characters faces with no voices, and just the sounds from the music. you really captured the story here. sorry to hear it didn't win anything, but your hard work is recognized and appreciated here! can't wait to see more of these guys and their world :)
