PRJ251 Final Animation: Backgrounds

For this team project, I worked as the Environment Artist. We completed this animation in 4 weeks. I am glad to have had the opportunity to participate in this project with my wonderful teammates.

A rough line drawing.

The final piece. For this shot, the camera starts at the top of the image and pans to the bottom, so that you transition from looking up at the sky to looking toward the ground.

The final piece with intro text.



Planning the scene. Rough sketch with character.

Final background. The foreground, midground, and background are on separate layers to allow for motion parallaxing.
