Heroica

Confronted by a mysterious shadow, a young warrior lost in a forest must fight her way to survival.

For this college project, we were randomly assigned a script, style, and platform to work on. The result was a project were the entire team was starting from scratch, learning to animate in 2D using Maya as part of the pipeline, that lasted only 4 weeks.

While the constraints in time resulted in a lot of cut corners, this project also thrusted us into a lot of learning experiences, were we had learn necessary tools to create our vision in a very limited timeframe. This resulted in the need to adquire skills in Maya 2D animation, speifically the use of puppets, parallax effects, and nodes for visual after effects.

For this project I contributed as director and animator. I worked mainly with Katia Velazquez (Production, lead animator) and Vanessa Orosco (Animation and concept art).
