Animation Production : Collaborated in a team of six to create a panoramic stereo 3D short animation film, utilizing the CAVERN system at CMU ETC I 2024 I 14 Weeks
Details
Inspired by a given prompt, we crafted a stylized and vibrant world of imagination. By blending music and choreography, we delivered a compelling and emotionally resonant experience that goes beyond conventional animation formats.
Throughout the process, I gained invaluable experience in immersive animation production. My contributions, in chronological order, included creating the early animatic draft, selecting music, developing the motion capture character animation pipeline, designing layouts, animating environments, and contributing to lighting and VFX work. My teammates and I are truly proud of what we accomplished in just one short semester.
