The Perfect Gift

This is an animation I made with Stellar in 2023 with a team of 7 people.
This project was a big first for me since I was tasked with modeling and rigging a Santa Claus character. The catch? I had never touched Blender before, so it was definitely a learning curve. That’s actually how I got introduced to the software in the first place.
I also helped out with some of the animation work, but the trickiest part was making sure the model stayed intact when we moved it around because it would break sometimes.
This was also my first time working alongside an actual film crew. We rented a house for 2 days and shot everything in about 8 hours on location.
This was for an ad for a local business called sim bird nest, I had to be on site to assist with the sound report, which was stressful but honestly a lot of fun looking back on it.
