Two weeks before Christmas I was working on this little project with a friend, Leah Lin. An awesomely talented illustrator,internet guru, and desert maker. The client asked simply to have their company name at the end of an animation that jived with the holidays. We started out with some hilarious google doc brainstorming/collaboration for what the animation would be about. We presented three storyboarded options before getting the green light on one and starting development. Leah made awesome illustrations/concepts which I followed for the look and feel of the animation. I was responsible for all the 3d; building the geometry, texturing, camera work, and final rendering and compositing.
Here are some behind the scenes of the process –

ps: I was very proud of the candle flames on the candles in the interior… I setup a little video shoot in my kitchen with a candle – the video of flame was composited into shot.
