Skillbot - 3D Animated Short Film

My first time directing an animated film--easily the coolest thing I've ever got to work on! My team and I had only 10 weeks to get this sucker made, and I think we knocked it out of the park.

In addition to directing, I wrote, storyboarded, modeled, textured, animated, and composited. I was also responsible for 100 percent of the lighting, and 100 percent of the camera setups and camera animation.

For a full list of shots I animated or props I modeled, please don't hesitate to reach out: I animated roughly 1000 out of 4900 frames total.

Texturing was executed by Pragya Verma and Aaryaman Shrimanker; texturing procedure was established by me (video tutorial available upon request if you wanna see how we used Adobe Substance and the aiToon shader!)

It's difficult for me to share production document screenshots without sharing personal information, but if anybody wants to see the spreadsheet magic Shane and I used to make sure this film got finished, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm happy to share template files with other directors and producers.
