This project was an attempt to merge 2d and 3d animation techniques into a story about a lonely woman who has supernatural controls over her origami creations. We wanted the piece to have a cohesive feel, so the 3d was rendered with mostly flat shading. I was responsible for modeling, texturing, lighting and animating the 3d elements. I also helped with fills for the 2d animation and compositing everything together.
This is an example of how the 3d objects were animated to match the 2d motion. An AVI file was played on a plane that was flush with the camera. Then, through a series of dummies, the objects were animated along with the AVI. The objects were then rendered separately and composited in Photoshop.
