“Nowhere Land” short film
A short story about a little boy who is alone in the world, called the “Nowhere Dimension”. One day he discovers he has special powers. He can create and manipulate objects with their powers and fills the Nowhere Dimension with objects.
I worked on animating the section 0:01 to 0:14. This was a group effort where we worked on rigging and animating two characters in a story.
Basic Human Rig
Using Autodesk Maya, I rigged the following model below. (Rig from link)
I created the joints, controls, bound the bones to the mesh/skin, and painted the weights of the affected mesh sections for the appropriate bones.
Animated and Rigged Airplane
I created this basic airplane rig and animation, which I then exported to be imported into Unreal Engine 5 for rendering (not my model).
3 Ball Bounces Animation
Using Maya, I modelled, textured, and animated three types of balls bouncing.
Ballet Routine Animation
I rigged and animated a basic character model. Based on the video in the lower left, I manually animated the motion of the ballet dancer using Maya (not my model).
