Mirror of Imperfection

This project is the main project of 20T2, for the Yagan Tower. The main focus of this project was on satisfying a client's demands. Jenny Le and I spent weeks planning, creating the assets for, and animating. We originally had the idea of a fantasy land including typical fairytale characters such as Peter Pan and Rapunzel. In the end, we decided on the idea that can be seen above. A girl and her 'evil' mirror, which tries to mock her and ultimately fails. I'm personally very proud of it despite the majority of my efforts going into the animation and pre-production. We used rubber-hose for the animation of the limbs.

Reflecting on this project, I'm very happy with it, even if I felt I simply didn't have enough of a part in it. I did greatly enjoy my parts, but it didn't feel balanced. Spending months making sure that Zeppo was happy and that our work met the specifications of the Yagan Tower. Of course, a video file smaller than 2 gigabytes for a 2 minute animation isn't hard to make so long as it's an MP4. The specifications of the screen were a rather interesting thing to fit to - 1952 x 896 pixels. It left us with a lot of negative space to fill with a scene. The bedroom fit the idea very well and the mirror itself filled in a lot of blank space.
