Wouter Devos Animation 2022

This concludes some of my work this past semester at Digital Arts and Entertainment.

Shot 01

For this animation i found an audioclip from Empire Of the Sun and immediately knew what i wanted to do. I wanted to showcase a shot inside the imagination of the child character, where he is living his wildest dream of flying with a P-51 Mustang. It took me some time to try and elevate the first shot by learning how to create clouds but i am quite happy with how it turned out in the end.

This was my first time animating a quadruped animal. I had to create a walk cycle, and work on my analysis skills on references and do alot of overall research on how horses move and behave.

As an extra i decided to have a look at the capabilities of Unreal Engine for my animation workflow. This allowed me to quickly create a good looking scene and iterate alot more on my renders without losing too much precious animation time.

For this animation i wanted to go further with quadruped animation and try some more difficult things. For this i also wanted to push my style more towards a cartoony feel and break the normal anatomy of my character.
