Photos from Senior Soiree :D

Color/Lighting/Texture Photo Reference

This is mainly for texture artists and lighters. Nick Stand will be very much like Ant Bully, style wise; somewhat realistic, but still cartoony. We're going for more sophisticated, rather than cheap. It's a inspirational story about always seeing the upside and beauty in the world, so the goal is to portray that not only in the actual animation, but also in the lighting and textures.

Classroom- lighting and texture
A Scene from The Incredibles inspired my thinking of the classroom(with the exception of black and white colored):

Outside Lighting Reference

More dull with bully around, but still somewhat bright

Very bright when we're with Nick

Clicking on the photos enlarges them, so you can see better/closer. :)

Senior Soiree

I met some wonderful people today at the Senior Soiree. I had quite a few sign up for my production. Hopefully, I will be in touch with all of them about helping with the film soon! And in case you didn't get to make the Soiree, I've posted a picture of the cake I baked and the giant foam-core poster! :D Enjoy!

Progress on Environments & Characters

The daisy is fully modeled and textured.

The hallway is fully modeled, but only has simple colors/textures.

^ This is the classroom, thus far.

Nick Stand: Inspired by Nick Vujicic

Hello Everyone,
My Senior film, Nick Stand, is a story inspired by Nick Vujicic, a man who was born with no arms or legs. He is now a motivational speaker and what made me want to go this way with my Senior film. This is the video that motivated my interest in retelling his story with my own twist through animation:
