How This Happened

This project was more than anything else, an exercise in understanding how to go through a whole 3D pipeline. Previous to this, when it came to motion graphic/video projects, I found that I didn’t fully understand the scope in which I was working. Often, I’d find myself just making shit up as I went, and then paying for it later. While this is great for learning, at some point you need to know what you’re doing. I wanted to figure that out.

I won’t go into storyline here cause honestly the video isn’t even remotely similar to the original. After listening to/zoning out to the song a million times, I started off by drawing the characters in 2D, then 3D modeling them. I tried to keep certain limps/parts similar so i could swap them between extras. Only when I had them all done did I go in and texture/rig them. Set creation took quite a large amount of time. In final compositing, often times Sets were split into multiple pieces then re-combined at the end.
