3D Animation - Tales of Halgard
A 3D animation completed for a university project in my final year at Northumbria University. In semester 1 all of the pre-production work took place such as a script, a treatment, a shot list, a storyboard. In addition the creation of the male 3D character in Autodesk Maya and Pixologic ZBrush was completed, where it had to be rigged, textured andready for animation for the beginning of semester 2. In semester 2 the main bulk of production work began where each scene had to be lit, animated and then rendered following the storyboards. The final video was edited in Adobe After Effects.
My grade for this project was 61% which is a 2:1 grade
