Even the simplest way can sometimes be the hardest one. Reaching for favourite tea could be obstacle hard to overcome and going to the next room can be step into completely different world. Do the same step – enter the surrealistic world to look through eyes of schizofrenic.
1. PRE-PRODUCTION
First - the idea. We had several ideas and thoughts but taking time in to consideration - we decided to make simpliest of them. We wanted to show how schizofrenic people see reality and how problematic it could be.

2. PRODUCTION
First of all the character was modeled, then the locations where action takes place. We created dozens of materials based on composit maps, opacity maps, normal maps, bump maps, displacement maps and so on. Lighting based on HDRI maps.
Everything was created, animated and rendered using 3ds max and V-Ray.
Bone system: CAT
Render took about 2 weeks on personal computers or netbooks.
3. POST-PRODUCTION
After getting raw .jpg sequences I puted that together in After Effects and Sony Vegas.
CORRECTING IMAGE
Color correction, motion blur, depth of field, additional light/shadows, visual effects.
Here is an example before and after:

SOUND
Music is from Music Academy student Michał Kawecki.
All the sounds are from freesound.org.
This is how the sound motage timeline looks like:
