Animated Short – Portfolio

Final design

This was the final concept design for my character, which was the Dracula Orchid.

Models

Dracula Orchid:

Low Poly Props, these being Trees, Rocks and a Log.

All the models above that you can see were done by myself. The main piece of work done was the character Dracula, this by far took the most amount of time as i put more detail and effort into him seeing as the character would be the main centre of attention during the scenes he would be in. The background props i didn’t need to put as much work into although Im actually really quite happy with the low poly look that i achieved, looking back I would’ve liked to make try and push for the whole animation to be low poly to there would be more cohesion with the background props and characters.

Animations 

For the final animation I animated the two scenes in which my character appeared in, the first scene is a close up with the camera panning up to the head of Dracula as in the scene the two mushroom characters have just bumped into him and are looking up to him. I added a head tilt to Dracula to try create a more lifelike character.

The second animation was Dracula swinging down to surprise the two mushrooms again but this time Its for the welcome party, to try and achieve a more welcoming feel i animated him swinging side to side as he comes down to make it more light hearted.
