enjoy!

all DONE~

After 3 days of intense post production, the edit is done. Here are the final screengrabs of the 4 shots in the sequence.

Director's Statement:
This teaser animation is created for my client for a potential 5 - 6 minutes short animation. The potential animation was going to be included in the toy's website.

I've decided to go for a hyper-realistic style. The potential goal for this animation was to inspire the target audience and to project the idea that all the toys are alive.
(target audience: preschool kids).

The project is a combination of traditional stop-motion animation and animated stills. Both elements are then composited onto a 2d background. Colour grading techniques are used to blend all the plates seamlessly. (e.g. adding of interactive shadows, lens flares, additional lights and camera movement - see compositing breakdown)

Status:
The project is now delivered and I am now awaiting for further budget decisions from my client. The final edit is now available online:
