“Carousel” is a solo project, I did in 2017 for my Marter’s degree at Bournemouth University, NCCA, United Kingdom. With this project, I wanted to experience all stages of the animation pipeline and get a better understanding of the whole process. Coming from a traditional fine arts background, I wanted to incorporate a handmade aesthetic into the visual style and animation. The main characters are automaton figurines that meet on a romantic date and dance. The scene takes place in a cabinet, a replica of my real cabinet for crafting. I built real puppets and a carousel/bandstand which I then recreated digitally. 

Software used: Zbrush, Maya, Vray, Nuke and Photoshop.
