Christmas at Alice

I was assigned the task of creating a Christmas-themed social post for Alice. This project was a delightful experience, involving various mediums such as 3D, miniatures, stop motion, paper, and foam craft.

Responsibilities: Concept, Full 3D, matte painting, miniature model making, animation and motion execution.

Concept | Storyboarding | Pre-production

Since we were weeks ahead of Christmas, I figured that instead of one single video, this project could to be a series of videos, with each video launched on a single week leading to Christmas. Since the target platform was instagram, the idea of having each video to be loopable was also interesting.

Production

We took the opportunity to have the most fun out of the project. Therefore, instead of creating the set fully in 3D, we decided we could use plastacine for the sets. Since the character needed to be animated with hinges for its joints, doing it physical seemed to be a rather impossible, so the santa was fully 3D, created in Maya.
