Layla’s Journey, one of three short films produced for Impact Studios
As the concept artist and co-director, I made art that helped us win the pitch to produce three short films of 30 and 15 seconds. My main contributions were:
- Backgrounds: developed and rendered ten or so highly stylized scenes, designed for texture projection in Maya
- Assets: non-animated human characters, non-moving street elements, trees, vehicles (cars, train)
- Render: Arnold, tractor farm
- Edit: maintained an active animatic
- Compositing: After Effects
For this shot I modelled and projected the textures for the “Darling it Hurts”street block and non-moving assets. I also edited the camera animation to better fit the shot.
