Gimme-A-Brake



An animated short about rivalry, life, and love at 30mph.

While riding along the highway, 4-year-old Chrissy notices a little boy making faces in the backseat of a car next to her. A battle of funny faces ensues, while avoiding getting in trouble with the parents. A rivalry quickly turns to friendship, and finally a sad goodbye, where quick-witted Chrissy pulls a fast move to get one last glimpse of her newfound friend, before departing their separate ways forever.

Basic Process and Intent
My focus is 3D Character Animation, however, my career goals mandate that I learn the process of creating a short from start to finish, therefore, the first semester will be dedicated to story, and modeling the characters and environments. The second
semester will be dedicated solely towards animation, and rendering.
I will model, texture, and rig my main characters (the boy and girl) – both are from one model, textured differently. The father character is a rig downloaded online: Alfred (downloaded from HighEnd3d) - which I will be using with permission from Rodri Torres (Thanks Rodri!)
