The Canibal Floral Mutant

Pre-Production

Collaborative Project : Dylan ANTONIO MOTA (Concept)

I'd like to start with my biggest project of the year, in which I learned and developed a lot. We had to create a character and his environment, and the rules were quite free. I started by asking Dylan ANTONIO MOTA, who kindly helped me by proposing a concept in which I left him free to choose. After several sketches, we settled on a former semi-zombie florist who had mutated.

Character Development

Environment Process

As for my character's surroundings, I wanted to show him in his shop, which was somewhat abandoned and damaged by events. I imagined that an epidemic had spread and that humans were becoming contaminated as it went along. So I modelled a flower shop in which you're in the back room.

Collaborative Project : Xavier TRY (Lighting, Texturing)

For this project I teamed up with Xavier TRY who took care of the lighting for this shot. We wanted to depict an old abandoned mansion, which houses a scientist doing experiments. Unfortunately, one of his creatures has escaped ! For this project I modelled the manor house, did some texturing and composited.

Parisian Metro

Metro Tracking Process

For this project, I chose a video of a person walking through the tunnel of the Paris metro and I wanted to integrate a metro into it. So I modelled a whole Paris metro, then I tracked the video, and finally I integrated the metro, taking care to add the reflections in the windows and to respect the right light and colour of the tunnel atmosphere.
