It's the year 2016 and (finally) the final year in my current course - Diploma in Digital Animation. Every student is required to get into a group and embark on a journey which is, the final year project. What is it you ask? It is in short, a half year long project where a group of students aim to create a short animated film of length 2~3 minutes. I'm blessed to be invited to a group with close friends that I can work together smoothly and constructively.
The title of our project is just finalized as 'Pursuit'. Or it might be better with all caps? 'PURSUIT'
sounds great too. In summary, it is a futuristic movie about a rogue robot that has to steal energy to survive. Once again I am grateful that I have been given this opportunity to work on this project, as it is one of the, if not, most of, the most interesting project I have ever done in this path. The model is great, the concept art is really stunning and most of all, the model is rigged reaaaally well. Kudos and shoutout to my group members Weibin and Yean Ling.
Heres a preview of our current main character - The Racer.

A sleek futuristic robot. At the moment I have to come up with a character bio for him. Oh, my role in this project is the lead animator and the storyboarder.
And here is our antagonist, the Destruct-o-bot!

Despite how small he looks in the picture above, he is actually twice as huge as Racer.
In the upcoming week, our group will have to present our concept behind the story, and most importantly, the storyboard and animatics. I will update this blog with the storyboard once its good to go!
And so, here are some misc silhouette studies I did with our dear character.

And this is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go and I wish that this will be a fruitful. fulfilling and joyful experience.
