Gremol - A Short Story (2018)

Yet another old but fun university project. I was in my second semester and the topic of the course was "uncanny valley". We had to create a character and a short animation but I feld like telling a (very silly) short story, with a good message:

Don't do drugs kids! And fancy clothes aren't everything. Stealing is very bad.

I went outside with two friends and shot some clips with my old Canon 600D. Some shots are fully digital with camera mapping based of pictures. Sadly we weren’t able to use any of the on set sounds, so I had to create a soundscape for the whole movie. Some audioclips may sound familiar..

Software used: Cinema 4D, Zbrush, Octane, After Effects

The storyboard for the whole short story.

Animations that made it into the film. The damage in the metal gate is a morphtarget animation combined with hand animated elements and simulated chain parts. Gremol was animated by hand.
