The Truth Within

*Gaby Soto and Juan Rincon are responsible for entirety of the layout, modeling, texturing, grooming, rigging, animating, lighting, compositing, story development and look development of this film.
 

Description

My thesis partner, Juan Rincon, and I choose to make our 3 minute animated short film a Film Noir. We gathered inspiration from the more recent movie genre Neo Noir. 

We wanted to make a piece that had all the typical pillars of a Film Noir like: chiaroscuro lighting, the use of shadows, a hard-boiled detective and a femme fatale, but we also wanted to combine aspect of Neo Noir like for example, using color in lighting to enhance emotion or tension in a scene. 


 

The Story

In a Make-a-Bear Store, a hard-boiled teddy bear detective is alerted by his lover of a dead body that has been found. Upon arriving at the crime scene, he starts unveiling clues which set him on a path to discovering the truth: Danger lurks closer than he thinks.
 

The Process

Emotions Test: Responsible for modelling, texturing, rigging, animating and Xgen on the bunny character and the doctor character.
