PERSONAL PROJECT
Yes, I'm measuring out my life in coffee spoons (as Prufrock sang), but I'm also measuring out coffee in 3D toons. This short 3d animated explainer video catalogs the health benefits of coffee. There was a satisfying cosmic balance in knowing that even as I was animating a movie about coffee, coffee was a large part of what animated me to finish the project. This project gave me an opportunity to experiment with character design and movement as well as explore Redshift in Cinema 4D in more detail.
PROCESS & BTS
The cups of coffee were animated with a straightforward pose morph. The hand only needed to be flexible enough to grab coffee. In the swim scene, the wave deformation was driven by an animated vertex map and fields.
