Introduction
Bobo, a lonely monster, is set to spend yet another birthday alone, until a cunning hunter throws him a killer surprise party.
BIG GAME is an animated short film, created by 6 students from The Animation School in Cape Town, South Africa.
For the last 11 months, myself and my 5 other group members have spent everyday working on our final year project, an animated short film that we essentially had no more than 9 months to produce (first 2 months was spent on story and concepts).
My involvement in this project was purely 'visual', My departments were predominantly that of Art Director, Lighting, Rendering, Shading, Hair and Fur and Compositing, with smaller contributions with regards to Character Design (Rabbit) and some of the environments.
For all those interested, here is a brief breakdown of our process.
Sound and Music
First off, we had an amazingly talented sound crew in the form of Jetfuel Studios and Blackforest Labs. These guys brought a feeling of energy and enthusiasm into this project that is just second to none. Considering they only had 2 weeks to do it in...just amazing.
