2022 Christmas short

A fun project with Joshua Abate to test ourselves creating our own short. Here’s a breakdown of what was used:

  • Maya for modelling, texturing, rigging, and animation

  • Blender for the smoke and snow FX

  • Photoshop for the background, character, and props (Ryann Evanitsky designed and painted the BG and props)

  • DaVinci Resolve 19 for compositing and editing

  • Cell phone for recording all SFX with household objects. Audacity for fine tuning.

  • Music "Spring Chicken" by Bryan Teoh CC0 (https://freepd.com/)

TAAFI 2013 Animation Challenge

TAAFI 2013 hosted a challenge between the animation schools of Ontario, each school had a month to finish an animation from concept to final piece. The theme for the animations was "caught in the act". This is Cambrian College's contribution, it was entirely hand drawn on paper and then colored digitally.
