DAY OF THE DEAD
2021 ANIMATION
DESCRIPTION
Day Of The Dead is a short animation based on the Mexican holiday in which families welcome back their deceased loved ones for a brief reunion. The animation is inspired by Pixar's animated film, Coco.
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a Loungefly collector, I wanted to use my Coco-themed mini-backpack to reimagine and create a corresponding Day-of-The-Dead-themed scene. To do this, I used photogrammetry and the program 3DF Zephyr to stitch the image into a 3D model. Using this model and various assets downloaded from the internet, I then assembled the scene, lighting, and textures in Blender. A particle simulation was created to add more of a narrative or lively touch, and then the animation was rendered in Blender.
