Hop n a Skip

Hop n a Skip is a short film about superheroes jumping on floating islands done by 7 students in just 2 days. This short film was part of a second year first assignment at the Aie in Canberra in 2013.

I worked with 6 other students where we went through the basic process of creating a film. We had to come up with an idea of a short story, model, texture and animate the characters as well as the environment, and then once everything has been rendered, all three scenes had to be composited together. I was the texture artist for the Hulk superhero character and I also did the animation for Hulk in the first and the second scene.

Below are the two animatics created by a student of us, for scenes 1 and 2, that I have uploaded to show the initial timing of the characters for the animation, using just normal spheres as place holders

I was quite amazed with what it turned out to be and what can be achieved within such a short period of time. This was just a short project that turned out to be a funny and cute short film and I had lots of fun working with the group to create.
