    paper Share IT, Animated Short Film

    “Share IT” is my main project in Screen Arts (3D animation), it is a Graduate Diploma from Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) New Zealand. The theme of my story is about friendship and how sharing something is much better, even though all the problems that mean.

    Some of my influences are from videogames, movies and cartoon series such as Toy Story, Shrek, Crash Bandicoot, Team Fortress 2, The Simpsons, and directors such as Guillermo Del Toro, James Cameron, and Akira Toriyama.

    This project was made mainly in Autodesk Maya for example, the characters, assets, and environments. For the compositing process, I used Adobe After Effects and for the edition I used Premiere Pro.

    I am glad to have feedback, if you have any comments or questions, please let me know, I will appreciate it. I hope you like it.

    This 3D animation was meant to illustrate Greg Murphy’s video, where he breaks down the problems and pitfalls of under and over-inflated tyres and shows you just how easy it is to get and keep your tyres’ pressure where they need to be.
