Description
In 2021, the Animation class at Kassel was approached by Team Malizia to create an animated intro, outro, and short animated clips for their educational program My Ocean Challenge. A competition was held, and two teams were selected as winners: one team consisting of Eleonora Dieterichs and Lena Risse, and the other made up of Henrike Büsser, Oleksandra Krasavtseva, and myself. We were tasked with creating the clips together, and after assigning roles, we got to work.
I was selected as the director for the clips, but I also took on the majority of the animation and compositing. Lena was responsible for the 3D boat and animatics. Oleksandra worked on the animatics as well and contributed to the animation. Elly acted as the producer, handling compositing and assisting with animation. Henrike designed all the visuals and beautiful backgrounds.
These clips were created over the span of about four months.
Although the client first wanted to use the character design of the other Team, we all liked our design more and were able to convince them to use it. Henrike then refined the characterdesigns and also created the beautiful backgrounds
