Jan 2026- may 14th 2026
Our group of 5 where told to create 3 different concepts for an
animatied 1 min short, we got a prompt to make it some kind of advertisment or PSA.
Ideas started with AI, Human connection, and economy/money
we presented our 3 ideas to the class, taking crituqe and implementing it into our ideas
each idea changed a little including our out look on what was achiveable Our group decided to combine some ideas
we took human connection and economy and money and created a new concept, with a selfish secluded bug stealing recources or himself presented again, a problem with the concept was it didnt make much sense in the way we where showing it, so we re-thought it again
we decided to change to a more human connection story about self isolation, creating a connection to our audience was a very important thing to our production
Our main character and his friends where offically ready for creation
we started character concept, turnarounds, color design (procreate/photoshop)
We start production with rough animation into line art, and then color
fill (Toon Boom Harmony)
Our backrounds where made in (Maya), from lidar scans we took from
our phones
Our backrounds where pieced together from our scans from many diffrent places includeing a historical museum around Menomonie, and
a historical house called the “pig house”, and other random scans we collected
we communicated between the 2D and 3D animators everyday, through microsoft teams, and text messages, along with in person, in class and outside of class
the team worked together to make a concistant animation, with 3D and 2D animation communicateing line width, color, and smoothness communication was our strongest ally in this project
We combined our animation and backgrounds in post production and submitted our project to unspooled at UW stout. Where it was screened
4 different times, for the staff and students, and the public.
