3D animated cartoonfilm


FEATURE FILMS FOR FAMILIES LTD
(2006-2007)

'The Velveteen Rabbit'

Main idea of this cartoon-film is that a real actor (a young boy) transforms to a 2D cartoon-figure to have fun with his 2D cartoon friends in a high-res 3D environment.

I was hired as an Environment Artist, made several key-scenes of the film, and learnt also a lot about making special-effects as well, integrated in a dream-like but someway close to photorealistic world.

My tasks included animating the camera-motion, modeling and texturing high-resolution environmental objects, setting up lights, R&D of special effects, setting up and distribute rendering and contribute in the final compositing. Output was HD for full cinematic experience.

Softwares I used in the pipeline: Lightwave, Softimage XSI, Adobe After Effects.
