Sandy Lane [2021]
Finished version of the short.
Sandy Lane Collaborative Project
Sandy Lane is a recent collaborative project done as part of a 2nd Year University module. We used Maya to Model, Texture, Rig and Animate and After Effects to composite.
The animated short was made by a group of four people, Aydin Clayton, Zelda Tickell, Zig Bingham and Owen Lye (myself). We all animated one or two shots each.
Music was made by Abisheke Tikiribandage.
