"Proelium" - Stop Motion Animation (Periode 6)

This was my first time making a stop motion animation, and also my first time working in a team.

 

I made this together with my classmates. I mainly helped to develop the story and the visual style of this project. But we all discussed it together of course. Anyway, working on this project was a lot of fun! I found that working in a team is really motivating, and together you can come up with greater ideas.

Here is the making of (In Dutch) where you can see the storyboards, us building the sets, and other stuff. :P

                                                                 

Here are some of my concept drawings:

and here are the final characters on the set!

And some set designs / prototypes / backstage photos

The trees and background panels were lasercut from these designs

First character made with Maya (Periode 6)

This was actually a sketch/collage I did for a group project (stop motion project) but we decided not to use this design, so I decided to base my Maya character on this :)

  So I modelled a character in Maya. This was a completely new experience for me as I've never worked with Maya (or any other 3D Animation program) before. But in the end it turned out alright. (and it was quite fun too!) Above are some of the character designs/sketches I did. I wanted my character to be a bit creepy as my previous project's character+story were so cute.

I got the texture for the main body from the internet, but I drew the texture for the head and torso in Photoshop
