Abandoned Farm
This was my first major project, and also my demo reel coming out of Full Sail. I was heavily inspired by Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and if you watch through the second half - Vagrant Story. One of the requirements for the reel was to also show wireframes. Every reel I ever saw showcased models followed by showing the models again on a turntable - I wanted to do something different, so instead of showing a given model twice I decided to reveal wireframes with the flashlight.
I've been thinking about - and may at some point - go back and remaster this entire project. I had a lot of fun working on it originally and feel that I could build a lot more off of it.
Credits go to:
Music/Audio: Silent Hill, Doom
Monster model: Michael Sala
Character rig: Chris Scott
I was responsible for everything else: modeling/lighting/animations (Maya), texturing (Photoshop), compositing (Shake/Final Cut Pro).
Except for audio/music and the monster model (courtesy Michael Sala), I was responsible for everything. Completion time was around 2 months.
