Project Proposal

The minor project is a collaboration between me and Samantha Niemczyk, which adapts the poem written by Johan Wolfgang von Goethe (1782) The Erl King, which will continue into animated short in the major project.

The minor project will be focused on the preparation for going into animation.

Both of us have different goals for the project and would like to gain distinctive abilities. My aim is to  improve my pre-production skills focusing on branding and my overall presentation skills. I also would like to develop my drawing skills to move down the path of establishing my own style. With Maya my goals are to improve  modelling, texturing and lighting to feel confident and ready to undertake any upcoming future challenge.


The style that we are aiming for has been influenced by a cinematic Ryse: Son of Rome (2013) made by Platige Image. We are aiming for a romantic and paintily style with an emphasis on dynamic brush strokes and creating an engaging story.

Minor Project Goal:
- completed pre-production;
- character models ready to animate
- environments completed
