Finn and the Little Bird | 3D Animated Short Film

Project Overview

This is a self-directed portfolio project created to demonstrate my skills and creative approach to 3D animation, visual storytelling and cinematic scene composition.

This project was not a paid project or commissioned client assignment. It was independently developed as a portfolio concept to showcase my creative abilities and animation workflow.

The short follows Finn, a curious orange fox, through a charming woodland environment as he encounters a little bird in need of help. Through expressive character moments, colourful environments and carefully composed scenes, the animation communicates a simple story of kindness, friendship and compassion.

• 3D character animation and visual development.
